[quote=Anonymous][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]

NP here- i literally could have written this EXACT post! Only difference is out neighborhoods bamboo at the top of our hill had already over taken our hill when we moved in just less than 2 years ago now. Anyway, OP would you mind Sharing who you used to clear the hill? My husband had posion ivy 2x now and has it right now from trying to transplant hostas from the jungle on the hill. We also want to do the barrier for the bamboo. Can you please share your process for that and if it’s been effective? Thank you so much! We’ve been struggling to under take our backyard![/quote]
