Have long established pachysandra ground cover, has been invaded by poison ivy and other pesky bamboo type weeds, I am highly allergic to the ivy so cannot hand weed, any types of treatment miracles out there short of destroying the entire bed?

If the invasion is just in one area and you are willing to lose that area they have flame or heat type weeders on the market now. Other than that the only thing I can think of is to hire someone to get out there in protective gear and pull it up.

Sorry I don't have any advice to offer. [dunno] I just wanted to say hello to a fellow CT-ite [wayey] Finally-according to Weezie's list, I think I'm the only one! Welcome aboard! [grin]

Be careful burning poison ivy - the smoke can cause reactions with people who are allergic. [shocked]

Hiring somebody to pull the vines out sounds like a great idea - got teenagers? [grin]
