| Question: | "How may we get rid of poison ivy in our rough?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Massachusetts |

| Answer/Response: | "Sulphuric acid will kill any plant with which it comes in contact and is much used in the killing of dandelions, plantain, and crab grass. A sharp stick is dipped into the acid and then thrust into the root crown of the weed. Care must be taken not to get the acid on the hands or clothing. Poison ivy may also be killed by thoroughly spraying it with kerosene oil. Also a solution of salt brine (3 pounds to 1 gallon of water) will kill the plant if applied with a sprinkling can or a sprayer. The kerosene and salt brine will kill the foliage of most other plants also, but if the applications have not saturated the ground the roots of the grass will not be killed and the grass will recover. Most weeds, however, will be set back considerably, if not killed. Most of the commercial weed killers consist chiefly of arsenite of soda and heavy doses of this will kill any vegetation. The arsenite should be applied as a spray in a solution of 5 opunds to 50 gallons of water. Fifty gallons of this solution would be sufficient to remove the weeds from 3,600 square feet, and at this rate would probably not destroy the grass." |
