Kudzu was intentionally brought here by THE GOVERNMENT...........FDR, IIRC.........
“Kudzu was intentionally brought here by THE GOVERNMENT...........FDR, IIRC.........”
Funny story. I have some acreage but have a county road in front. I wanted to grow something that would screen the car lights from shining in our house at night (at least during the summer).
So, I purchased a bunch of kudzu seeds. The package said, “be careful! Kudzu will grow on cement, and it will get away from you very quickly!”
Perfect. So, I planted it with rich topsoil and fertilizer and watered frequently.
Nothing. So, I gave them away. The person I gave them to planted by sprinkling on top of hard, crusty ground. He has a problem now that I wiash I had.
Moral: kudzu doesn’t like it when you pamper it.
My wife and I took a long road trip in the mid ‘70s across the southern states and on way home drove across northern Alabama and northern Mississippi and you couldn’t see trees because of kudzu. Kind of pretty to a tourist but I can’t imagine living with it.
