I have poison ivy in my backyard and I need to get rid of it without using chemicals. Because I have a dog that goes out there all the time. What can I use safely and cheaply? Please name product and source of getting it if possible.

Organic??? It's a shovel and you, pulling out the ivy by it's roots. Be sure to wear gloves, long sleeves, boots, long pants, cover all exposed skin and go at it.
not the answer you wanted.. but the truth. PI is tough to kill with even the most aggressive of herbicides.

Poison Ivy Control
1 cup salt
8 to 10 drops liquid detergent
1 gallon vinegar
Combine the salt and vinegar in a pan and heat until the salt is dissolved, then cool. Add detergent. Use a spray bottle to spray the vegetation only. Do not apply until it is dripping onto the soil, simply apply to get the leaves wet, and take care not to apply to beneficial plants, as this will kill everything!

Round up is safe as long as you don't let your dog roll in it while its wet. Also once the Ivy is dead do not burn. The smoke will have residue from the poison in it and burn your lungs.

You may be able to find what you are looking for at Silky Scents. They have a free recipe section that is easy to follow

Roundup won't hurt your dog.
