Steve, what happens after applying Round Up ? I mean, what prevents the 
Poison Ivy from returning ?
Must you plant something in its stead?

I ask because I imagine that you'd also be knocking out the potential 
successors to Poison Ivy as well... ?

Also, do you reckon that the use of round-up would be a one shot deal 
or are repeated applications necessary?

I gotta tell ya: I have been battling a weed called creeping 
charlie/ground Ivy for five years now and losing and I am THIS close to 
trying Round-up..... If only I could ignore my guilt !!

..That's fascinating about Pfeiifer.... Would you have any info on the 
success of using the BD method of, I forgot what it's called where they 
dillute and redillute nine times over a concoction that includes the 
ashes of the weed they want to control..... I imagine Pfeiffer would 
have reccomended this BEFORE use of the chemical no ?
