but it is easier if they are right in your backyard. Blackberries are
not so aggressive in Michigan. I have to hack the stuff threatening to
choke them if I want to have them in my fencerows.

Even here in hoy, humis eastern Texas. I've never seen
inpenetrable
thickets of blackberries!

This was in the 1970s and early-'80s, LONG time before the
Georges :)

I'm worried that
a goat in our own back yard would soon be munching on things I'd
like to
keep, as opposed to things I'd like to have taken down.


Ever heard of cabrito? Goat has a nice flavor to it :) Once the
weedy-problem
is dealt with... have a barbeque!!

Chances are, we'll have a buckling or two for sale next year. Any
toggenburgs we get won't be able to be registered, anyhow. A neutered
male goat is just the thing for eating lots of plant matter.

A South Carolina blackberry can whup a Texas blackberry's candy
ass any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

They've whupped mine a few times, but the blackberries wuz worth
it.

blackberry vines and Kudzu, too
At least kudzu is brazen; it announces its presence by waving its
fronds about insolently in the air so it can be easily spotted and
properly exterminated.

If I lived in the south, I could probably feed all my goats for free.

You know, people talk about feeding kudzu to goats all the time,
but every goat I've ever known would only eat kudzu if it
couldn't jump fence and get something it liked better.

If someone knocked on your door and asked for permission to harvest your
kudzu vines, what would you say?

I'd say "kudzu! Tell me where and I'll get the Round Up!"

My neighbor and I nipped the kudzu that was along the fence
in the bud, so to speak. Got the poison ivy, too.

Blackberry is tricksy and sly, as I mentioned, it sneaks in and
sprouts all over the place, one sneaky cane at a time


How about if they want to put some
goats into your field that's overgrown with multiflora roses or
blackberries?

Well, the multiflora rose is out front. If they want to feed
their goat and can keep it out of the other flower beds, they're
welcome to try. Manure is welcome in my yard, but if it eats
my peppers, Vulgar Words Will Be Spoken.
