A fellow gardener has poison ivy growing near and at the shore of a lake
or stream. How can they control or eradicate the poison ivy without
using harmful chemicals? They don't want chemicals to get into the
lake. I read the Yard & Garden Brief where it says to use triclopyr and
to apply it directly to the leaves. Wouldn't there be the possibility
that spraying with the triclopyr could damage the surrounding
environment? Or, would it be best to paint the triclopyr directly on
the leaves rather than spraying?
