I want to store a kayak on that spot. It's higher than the beach by
several feet and therefore less susceptible to storm action.

I'm hyper-sensitive to poison ivy, so I need to clear that spot out in
such a way that working there (as in burying a dry-land "Anchor",
placing the support blocks for the kayak, and repeatedly
placing/retrieving the kayak won't leave me with poison ivy.

This is coastal Southern New Jersey - where poison ivy *really*
thrives... I can think of whole areas that seem to be held together by
the stuff.

That's a hotel in the background so burning is probably not an option -
although if somebody says liberal application of a flame weeder will do
the trick that might be doable.

This does not have to happen tomorrow, or next week, or even next month.
Storm season is coming and it's probably best to wait until next spring
to actually place the kayak.

Meanwhile, I'd like to kill that poison ivy, have it stay killed, and
not get a case of the stuff preparing/using the site.

Short-term, there's no need for any vegetation at all to survive in that
area.

Long term, I'd try to plant it with beach grass and fertilize it hoping
to maintain a poison ivy-free/erosion-free zone.

Anybody have a plan?
