    It was on their 5/10/03 newsletter – here’s a copy/paste from it…

    POISON IVY/OAK/SUMAC IN YOUR YARD?
    INVASIVE PLANTS TAKING OVER?

    Here’s a simple recipe that will kill vegetation without chemicals.  Keep in
    mind that if the poison plant is not in anybody’s way, it’s a great plant
    that feeds birds with its berries.  Angora and Spanish goats love it too. If
    you absolutely must kill it or something else, here’s a non-toxic recipe:

    Place 1 gallon of vinegar in a large pot and add 1 cup of salt.  Heat till
    the salt dissolves.  Cool and add 8 drops of liquid dish detergent.  Put in
    spray bottle or pour on the poison ivy.  This formula is not
    poison-specific.  It will kill any vegetation you pour it on.  Be careful
    where you spray or pour.
