Anyone in the South would call this crazy. Zudzu grows exceptionally
fast, covers street signs, covers homes, and shades/kills trees and
bushes. You might consider some other ground cover. Pachysandra
should grow well. Other options include grass, lily of the
valley,vinca, and a variety of vines. Not sure if kudzu would grow
well in Michigan. If it did, you'd regret ever planting it. Roundup
does not stop kudzu. BTW, we have zudzu festivals here. It is
edible.
