We have a jungle problem at our house. We have had a lot of rain this Spring. We’ve gotten so much precipitation that the area has officially switched from draught conditions to full on flooding. The plants are loving all of this rain. They just grow and grow. I bought this Shear Shrubber to hack at the yard’s vegetation, but I am afraid to use it, because underpinning this jungle situation is poison ivy, which has infested the yard. I would like to get rid of this nuisance, but I am afraid to go near it. I bought some weed killer spray, but because it is always raining, I cannot really use it until the rain lets up. It would just get washed away before it could do its job. I have a guy who mows the lawn and last year, I got him to trim the shrubbery. I guess that I am going to have to ask him to do it again this year. He probably will not be able to help me though for a month or two, because all of this rain plays havoc with his business too. Rain, rain please go away.
That is a serioys piece of equipment!
Poke an eye out
Does the Marquis adversely react to poison ivy? I have been told that my own mutted reaction to urushiol (the active ingredient in Toxicodendron) is genetic, and often accompanies a genetic suseptability to Atopic Dermatitis. Urushiol was clinically administered as a test for Atopic Dermatitis at one time.
When I was in scouts, on my first camping trip, another scout set a fire with poison oak. I got it everywhere! Since then, I have been susceptible to both poison oak and ivy.
