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.

She thinks donkeys are sweet...enough said. Dad has put his foot down on
that one fortunately. She's quite good at keeping them out of the vegie
garden....many years of trial and error....but she'd like a 'flower garden'
out the front. Or any garden. Right now she has lots of rocks, some dead
leaves, sand, aloe vera and lavendar. Oh, and the rosemary.I might just
suggest she gets more of that. I'm going to have a chat to her about natives
too; I'm sure there are quite a few in the bush around her house that they
won't touch, so I think she should try getting her hands on those.
