That being said, Roundup does make a poison ivy formulation.
Please, do not pour diesel fuel, used motor oil, or the like into the
ground. The environmental impact is substantial.
What, you think he's going to douse the plants with 500 gallons? good
grief. I'd do the Roundup approach myself, but even 1 gallon of diesel
isn't going to harm the environment.
Sorry, you are misinformed. Americans dump more oil in the ground every
year than was spilled by the Exxon Valdez. I used to be one of them,
until I learned the truth.
The environmental impact is staggering, and even a single quart *is*
going to harm the environment. Here's a quote, I'm sure you could google
others if you wish to look into the matter.
"one quart of oil can create a two-acre sized oil slick, and a gallon of
oil can contaminate a million gallons of fresh water."
