Gonna be a Kudzu eradication tycoon..

I was just thinking that, myself.

The article is inaccurate in saying that eating kudzu back to the root will kill it. It can come back from an apparently dead root after 10 years, or even longer. You have to dig up the root (after eradicating every bit of vine and spreading creepers), and the root can weigh 400 pounds and be as big as a horse.

You got to be a Frank Zappa fan.

I'll be moving to Chattanooga soon. Congrats! You'll love the Scenic City. I grew up in Chattanooga and just moved away about six weeks ago. I miss it tremendously! Freepmail if you need any help.

Actually, kudzu is a pretty big problem. There are areas where acres and acres have been claimed by kudzo, and goats are about the only way to control it. It creates costly problems when it starts growing under roads and around tunnels, as it is near Missionary Ridge. However, the current mayor and his staff are completely incompetent, so undoubtedly a practical solution like this will lead to massive issues for the city.

The climate and weather patterns of the Southeast is extremely similar to that of China. Hence why kudzu took off so well when introduced in the late 19th century.
