Our friend and fellow yogini, Ms. Bandock, is an avid gardener. However, her Queen's Anne Lace hedge was infested with poison ivy. Every time she attempted to prune or weed she contracted the rash. Stink.
Thankfully, Kevin has pretty much self-inoculated against poison ivy given how much he's been exposed! He's also adept at getting rid of the poison ivy. Soaking the roots allows you to get at the base of the plant & prevent years of regrowth, as Ms. Bandock had unfortunately experienced. This method eliminates the need for harmful chemicals!
She is now poison ivy free! And happily enjoying her Queen Anne's privacy hedge again.
She also wanted to enjoy a fire pit with her guests in the backyard. Kevin suggested a circular irregular slate patio, to not occupy the entire lawn, but to give her a safe place to enjoy evening fires.
Voila! Around the periphery, fresh grass seed. The grass will grow up to the edges of the patio.
More enjoyment from her own backyard. This is what we love-- making your home suit you!
