I found a very inexpensive way to kill poison ivy in my yard. Spray the area with a mixture of 2 gallons soapy water and 3 lbs. of salt. The already mixed solutions at the garden store are very costly. It only takes a few minutes to mix up your own.

Did anyone ever get an answer as to what kind of soap? Has anyone tried this? I have poison growing up trees, taking over the natural areas, and wrapping up several azaleas.

Bobbie: Just looked up this site after learning I have Poison Ivy throughout my lariope lining the walk up to the front of the house. The larirope is "old" and very thick. What is the soap you use and will it hurt the lariope?
Thanking you in advance for your help!
