The Poison Ivy solution?

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy, a kid’ll eat ivy, too, wouldn’t you?
 

We have our share of poison ivy on the property and Marty is likely to stumble through the leaves of three.  For at least  the past year, we have been thinking about eradicating the ivy patch and these two have been hired to do the work.  The lyric from the 1940's whimsical tune Mairzy Doats quoted above indicates a kid'll eat ivy too. So for the past two weeks the two grown up kids, named Ivy and Kid (Kid has the brown or red face), have been on our property. Yesterday Ivy was observed happily chewing the nasty leaves of three, so as our neighbor says "You go girl."
