"simy1" wrote in message m... 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!

"Kelly Paul Graham" wrote in message ... "Claire Petersky" wrote in message nk.net... 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!! Kelly Paul Graham. 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. Ray Drouillard |

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. Penelope -- "Maybe you'd like to ask the Wizard for a heart." "ElissaAnn" |
