Gardening Tip:
A winding path, even a small one, that curves through a large garden or landscape adds a feeling of mystery and anticipation to the scene. Visitors walking along a winding path can't help but wonder what's around the corner. Unless you are designing a formal garden, make the paths curved instead of straight.

1. ASAP - flood the affected area with rubbing alcohol to remove the plant's juices from the skin. If alcohol isn't available, use running water.
2. Rinse or wash all contaminated clothing and tools as well.
3. Once the rash appears, apply compresses soaked in cold water or Burow's solution (1:40 concentration) for 10 minutes three times a day. After air-drying (do not rub with a towel), soothe the rash with calamine lotion or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.
4. If the rash affects the face or genital area or if it spreads widely, seek medical treatment.
Killing poison ivy:
1. Mix 3 pounds salt with 1 gallon soapy water; spray the solution on the plant's leaves and stems.
2. To pull out a few small shoots, slip your hand into a plastic bag, after uprooting the plant, carefully cover it with the bag. Close and toss into the trash.
3. Never burn these plants or their leaves; smoke carries the irritant.
