Noh, se pitaa sielta hoitaa pois. Tai ainakin tehda jonkinlainen puskurivyohyke. Saatiin jo kustannusarvio siita mita maksaa, jos noin metrin leveydelta se raivataan ja revitaan pois ja viela myrkytetaan (pitaa myrkyttaa kolme kertaa etta kunnolla kuolee). Asia, joka pitaa tehda vaikkei kauheen kiva olekaan. Ainakin opin sen milta myrkkymuratti nayttaa. Viimisena on kuva ihan tavallisesta muratista joka sekin taalla kasvaa metsissa villina.
We have been thinking about fencing in the back yard so that the girls would be able to run out there without some one being there with them to supervise every single minute. And the dog would be able to join us without being able to go after all the good smells. But YIKES the prices are crazy! The last fence guy to come and give me a quote asked if I had noticed the poison ivy growing everywhere beyond the grass. WHAT?! No I had not especially as I did't quite know what it looked like. Well now I know. I did know it's very common here but that our back of the property is full of it. It's climbing up some trees as well.
So, we have to take care of it. We already got a quote for clearing a 1m wide zone around the grass where it would be pulled out and then treated with chemicals (needs three applications to get rid of it properly). This is something we really have to take care of. And if nothing else, at least now I know what poison ivy looks like. The last photo is of normal ivy which also grows here in the woods.
Voi kurjaa, että sitä on pihallasi. Ai että, inhoan poison ivy. Itse en ole koskaan saanut siitä ihottumaan, mutta tyttärilläni on ollut ja se on kyllä tosi kurjaa. Toivottavasti saatte sen sieltä häviämään, taitaa olla aika sitkeä kasvuista.
VastaaPoistaItsella ei ole kokemuksia mutta ystavan poika on niin allerginen etta kevaisin on koko ajan kortisonikuurilla kun tuulen mukana saa reaktioita. :( Ainakin nyt sellainen puskurivyhyke ensin tuonne takapihalle ja sitten vaan pikkuhiljaa sita rajaa siirtamalla kauemmaksi myrkyttamalla. Nyt tulee meille landscaping firma tekemaan ensimmaisen osan ja hintaan kuuluu kolme myrkytyskertaa.
PoistaI highly recommend getting the poison ivy removed ASAP. If you or the girls are allergic to it, it's a real misery :(
VastaaPoistaYes mum! :D We have someone to come and get rid of some of it. They are going to make a 5 feet bumper zone from the edge of the grass towards the back of the property. And after that we'll have to start dealing with it bit by bit. We don't know if we are allergic to it or not. So far no one has reacted but we haven't really been traipsing in it either.
PoistaJust remember, "leaves of three, let it be" - makes it easy to recognize :)
PoistaI know now! :)
PoistaOnpa myrkkymuratti viattoman näköistä! En ole ikinä törmännyt, mutta enää toisaalta ole tiennyt miltä näyttää vaikka olisinkin. Lykkyä myrkyn myrkyttämiseen! Ihan hyvä varmasti jättää homma ammattilaisille.
VastaaPoistaEi luulisi todellakaan etta olisi harmillinen kasvi. Pikkuisena on vahan enemman muratin nakoista kuin tuo. Kuvista nakyy pikkuisia vahan suipompine ja punertavimpine lehtineen mutta kun kasvavat niin kylla on aika lailla ihan minka tahansa kasvin nakoista. Ja ehdottomasti saa ammattilaiset hoitaa tan homman.
PoistaI had no idea that existed. We have 2 small yards, but try to clean them regularly of weeds.. we're no experts though, so I'm sure sometimes we pull out normal flowers too! :D
VastaaPoistaPoison ivy grows in North and Central America as well as in Eastern Asia. Luckily not in Finland. I'm not a gardener either but trying to keep things nice and tidy and clean of weeds. :)
PoistaOh yikes! I once got poison ivy/oak (not sure which one) reaction from Nalle. He had gotten it on his fur and then brushed up against my leg. It was not fun! I'm glad to hear no one has reacted to it there!
VastaaPoistaOUCH! Ei kuulosta kivalta. Like I said at least so far no one has reacted but I have a friend whose son is on cortisone medication every spring/early summer because he gets reaction from the air from this stuff. Poor guy! And I'm keeping everyone off of the back of the garden before this stuff is cleared, which should be very soon.
