If I thought diesel fuel or gasoline would work, I'd try it.
That's how desparate I am. Someone in another thread suggested
using Borax as a herbicide. Any comments will be appreciated.

An old railroad guy I know said they were fond of used motor oil for the
purpose, but you know how those old railroad guys are.

What I read (don't know if it's true). If you burn poison ivy,
the poison part turns to vapor, and floats away. Which isn't good
if a senstive person is down wind, and is in contact with the
poison vapor. Gives allergic reaction on skin, eyes, lungs,
mouth, nose, etc.
Wrap the plants in plastic bags and send to the landfill is the
advice I remember.

Very true. Been there & got a bad case that way. BTW, do you know
that cashew (plant & nut) is a first cousin to poison ivy? If I eat
more than just a few, I get the same reaction as PI.

Believe me , both will work, and the diesel fuel will last longer.
