I got violently ill and am still recovering. Come to find out there was poison ivy in the bunch I pulled up. I hope this didn't happen to you. So sad if you had to lose your mint patch, but it's not worth the pain, let me tell ya.

Even the mint that did not directly touch the ivy, I'm still afraid to use it. gluten Free A_Z Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651624214552275164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977483836573978520.post-12648709027460788062015-05-16T14:26:39.974-04:002015-05-16T14:26:39.974-04:00Oh gosh - I wish I had an answer!

For poison ivy, boiling water (watch contact with the resulting steam, though - you'll wind up with a nasty mist of poison ivy oil!) and hiring a friend who seems to be immune to the stuff to pull it up works, but neither works AND saves the plants it's hiding among. Maybe the easiest answer is just to take cuttings of the mint (carefully), and pot them and then raze the whole mess and let it spend a year under a tarp killing everything off so you can start over next year. At least mint grows fast! I'd love it if you'd share this post with this week's Awesome Life Friday. http://rchreviews.blogspot.com/Lynda Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089297786526347367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977483836573978520.post-1426123898072468322015-05-14T11:02:37.118-04:002015-05-14T11:02:37.118-04:00Hi Judee,
