Has anyone ever tried controlling poison ivy by using an aggressive ground cover that might choke it out? Will this work? In shady areas I thought I would try some Obedient Plant and in full sun, Evening Primrose. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Kent |

Sweet potatoes will work surprisingly well. PS love your footer! |

Maybe its native colleague, Virginia creeper? Possible downside: people tend to confuse the two, and I have occasionally been lulled to a false sense of security in a creeper patch, only to discover that there were some P.I. vines mixed in with it. |

Thanks for the suggestions. Sweet potatoes? I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years, but I will try it. I have some Virginia creeper already among the p.i. but it's outnumbered at the moment and I'm not sure if it will ever catch up. Kent |

OK, I'm willing to try the sweet potato treatment on poison ivy. I guess you can't just cut regular sweet potatoes up & plant them? That would be too easy. When to plant? How to care for them? Plano Patty |
