It runs all the way down, flanking both sides. I pretend it’s a moat for protection. So lush in some places it’s difficult to not touch with your car as you drive along.
aaaaaaaa if only I could lie down there
Some how it seems more ‘oddly terrifying’ than ‘mildy interesting’ to me lol
1 gallon of vinegar mixed with a cup of salt and a tablespoon of dish soap. Spray the hell out of all those.
A year ago a bird dropped some poison ivy into my suburban yard. I had no idea what it was, so I bare hand pulled it all up. I ended up at the doctors with it all over my face and body. Amazing all the places you touch on yourself. Luckily none in my eyes or on my sensitive regions… But I now know what poison ivy looks like!
In my area they’re alongside roads a lot, and we get the occasional post on NextDoor that shows a picture of a kid with a red and swollen face, and the parents says “OMG my kid was playing with those pretty plants by the road, beware!” It really is not fun. Thankfully, as far as I know, all symptoms eventually recede.
They’re not just by roads though, a guy I know has a decent amount of land and there was a fairly massive poison ivy bush on it, that he burned in a controlled burn. I wasn’t there, but he showed me the video, it’s quite impressive. There’s also a satisfying feeling to it, it feels like payback against those fuckers! 😉
Burning poison ivy is really risky, you can inhale the burning urushiol and get severe lung problems. Definitely not the way to remove the stuff if you can help it.
