Default Steep hillside covered with poision ivy:(

wrote:
I have a steep hillside covered with poision ivy at my driveway.

I am very allergic to it. Got very sick from steroids after exposure

now its very steep peraps 8 feet high and 30 feet long.

I was advised to kill everything on that hill, but fear one heavy rain
will wash down mud and clog my driveway drain and pump. besides there
are other plants in that mess, including stuff my mom planted before
she died.

any suggestions? i would love to remove the ivy and leave what
remains. i tried roundup sprayed on the ivy, it wilted a little but
came back stronger than ever

too bad pision ivy makes you itchy its a excellent ground cover


Don't try these yourself:
1. Stronger concentration of Round Up (try 3oz of concentrate per gallon).
2. Propane-driven weed inflameagrator
3. Big tarp(s).
