[quote=Anonymous]Short version - after hand-pulling weeds is there anything not super terrible for the earth that I can put down to lessen the chance that invasive plants will re-occur?

Long version - We moved into our home two years ago and have slowly been trying to tackle and insane backyard. Thankfully I was able to get the bamboo up over the last two years because it had only started to creep over from a neighbor. We put in a barrier for that.

Now I'm trying to tackle lots of poison ivy and invasive garlic mustard and some sort of other insane invasive plant that grows by rhizome. I learned last year I am very allergic to poison ivy so this year I hired someone to pull basically everything back there (keeping the good may apples and ferns). I understand that I can have people come hand-pull weeds repeatedly to tame this hillside. I am nervous to do any work myself given the poison ivy. Other than Round Up, is there anything I should put on the hillside after the next round of hand-pulling? Thanks for ideas.[/quote]
