Ooh now a goat or two first, That might be an idea! They cleared the

Goats are browsers not grazers. They much prefer shrubs, bushes, hedges
etc.

Oh dear ! Won't suggest that then!/

I'm always surprised at how quickly their chickens and other assorted

I've considered taking the chickens for a run around the allotment on the
weedy patches, but keeping them in the right spot is a bit risky

I wasn't planning on keeping them there, just visiting with them to do a
spot of weeding.
