Removing a Large Stand of Dead "Straw" Grass on a Wooded Property

A 40-year resident faces 1,500 sq ft of 12-15" tall grass that dies into straw, smothering wildflowers and berries. Ground is irregular, roots deep, poison ivy present. Wants permanent removal without replanting.

The expert offers no easy fix: controlled burn (if legal), haul away for compost, or plow/disk (risks spreading). No simple solution for such a large, tough area.
