I sure hope they burned that patch out with flamethrowers. It’s the only way to get rid of kunzu. You have to stop it before it gets a toehold. Cutting it back just pisses it off.
Apparently, kudzu can be used successfully to make alcohol. Problem is, when you attempt to ‘harvest’ kudu, it releases chemicals that work as well as round-up on the plants below it. This is nasty stuff.
A well established kudzu root can be as big as a tree trunk and weigh as much as 200 pounds. But it is a starchy root and as such its interior is edible..........
“This is nasty stuff.”
I heard goats loved the stuff and will clean it up in short order.
