DavisStraight Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Last year my yard was inundated with squirrels, this year have only seen one. Must have been taken by predators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted Saturday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:36 PM @Ginx snewx This thing has already put on a foot this year…more than any other tree I have. After years maybe it’s finally done with the taproot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an awesome garden, maybe next year I'll try and get a good one going since I'll be in my forever house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted Wednesday at 12:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:09 PM Other than using black garbage bags to cover up and kill mugwort, which apparently can take up to a year, is my only option Roundup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago with all the rain and fresh mulch, this is as good as backyard will look. Front yard looks better. sorry, no pic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago So, we are starting to get a lot of poison ivy, showing up in the back, wooded part of our yard. I’d rather not use toxins to kill it. Has anybody here had any luck with more natural solutions? I was thinking of mixing up a big batch of sea salt and vinegar to spray it with. I’m pretty sensitive to it so I’m not really interested in putting on gloves and pulling it up myself. Also looking to see if I could borrow some goats for a day or two. I would love to own a pair of goats, but I’m not quite ready for that commitment and they are not easy to contain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will most likely go brown pretty quick, but I don't think it gets to the roots for a total kill, so it will just come back. Not just poison ivy, but any thing you are trying to get rid of. I am all ears too for a natural solution that actually works and kills down to the roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
