Mum rang me with a gardening problem regarding goats.....her soil is dry,
sandy, slightly acid and under gum trees. She also suffers from marauding
goats....her own, but still.....so she's put in a request to all you
gardening gurus for plants that will handle dry conditions that goats
will not eat...she will be very very grateful!! It's sort of dappled
shade in some parts and full sun in others; she likes cottage gardens and
already has lavendar and rosemary growing. Thanks

Goats will eat anything.
They wont eat Electric fenced plants. Mind you it will also surprise
your Mum at times and give her heart quite a Rev/start.


Lol!! I know.....she needs to do that. I think she thinks it's charming the
way they stare stupidly through her glass doors.....


Er is it the goats or is it her....staring stupidly (no offence,
electric or otherwise) I mean. Goats were designed to eat anything.
Anyone keeping goats that will not eat everything, has a defective goat
or mind. Goats go to great lengths to eat the uneatable. Your mother
will become quite smart after having been butted on the bbbut. Goats are
quite tricky. This is why the devil is sometimes seen in the guise of a
goat.
You cannot trust goats. (All this information was taken of the Net and
is ISO 9001 certified.) (Except the bit about) your mother who is
probably in the spell of "charming goats" Snap her out of it before its
too late... (GRIN!) Dont let her even think about donkeys.
