If I'm not mistaken, kudzu can grow 12" in a day. There's an old joke: How do you plant kudzu? Throw the seeds over your shoulder and run!

We had goats for a few years back on the farm. Honey suckle had about taken over the woods around our house. Finding a few " sylvester no shoulders" in the yard did it. Put up 3 strand barbed wire on metal posts, lean to for them and that was it, about a month and that side was clear. Added another larger fenced in area on other side of house and in went the goats. IIRC about 2 months and it was clear. By then we had made " pets" of them, all had names and would even come to us when called. One was so spoiled that she would bleat when she heard back door open, wanted a treat. Have to have very good fencing or they will eat things in your yard.

Nope, deer like it so I just eat them.

THIS ... allow professional processing prior to consumption

 

[venomballistics]

Garlic and butter. (Amazing what tastes good if you put enough garlic and butter in/on it.)

Well ... yeah ... a good recipe might be kudzu, garlic and butter with optional kudzu

The nature preserves and woodland parks in my county have contracts with a large goat/Alpaca farm to clear the kudzu. They do a good job of bleating it back.

The gators got your granny.

I
I posted on here over a year ago about eating polk salet and was told it would poison me. As a young boy my older sister and I sold several pounds of polk to Allen Canning Co every summer.
Fyi, Allen Can. also owned Popeye Spinach but they closed their
doors a few years back. At one time Allen's was the largest
family owned canning co. in the U.S.
My older brother hauled Allen's products to the west coast
by the semi load. He always said the California market for
Allen's was supported by all the folks from Arkansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Texas who had migrated to California during
the dust bowl and great depression.

Had a professor in college that drank Kudzu tea, he was an interesting
English teacher. Have tried a jelly made from the blooms, tastes a lot
like grape jelly. Have taken a deer or three during bow season here while
they were eating the new growth. They tasted like deer.

I see what you did there.

I cannot rmember with any certainty, but there may have been a kudzu cookbook down here in Mississippi, back in the 70s.

I've heard of folks getting some goats from individuals and placing on their property to clean up the kudzu.

Betcha if someone figures out how to make good tasting wine or moonshine out of it it will start disappearing really fast.
