News from Home - Goats for Kudzu Control
The city of Chattanooga is using goats to eat kudzu on Missionary Ridge. I think that's a lovely idea - but folk wisdom teaches that animal flesh fed on kudzu is green, so this is not going to be a closed-loop system. Maybe the kids will be unaffected - they're tastiest, anyway!
I used to park next to a stand of kudzu at a summer job (and I was always a little afraid the car would be taken before I came out in the afternoon), but I learned then that kudzu flowers smell like grape jelly. Not grapes, grape jelly, a freshly popped jar of Smucker's grape jelly.
