Gary,
It's all over the south ain't it! It is all over our property and was introduced by the government back in the 30's or so to help with soil erosion. That's the story the old timers tell around here. I had it on the run when I built the horse pen around it but give it a few years, now it's back in full force.

Tom · « **Reply #7 on:** September 08, 2005, 10:15:07 pm »

I wonder what it is?

Does it smell kinda like Nehi Grape?

Does it look something like this?

GareyD · « **Reply #8 on:** September 08, 2005, 10:19:45 pm »

Couldja all be a little more specific, think I saw an elephant made outa this stuff in South Carolina last month.

Tom · « **Reply #15 on:** September 08, 2005, 11:25:46 pm »

Couldn't have been, Don. They make elephants out of coconuts.

OneWithWood · « **Reply #16 on:** September 09, 2005, 12:27:44 pm »

Tom, you got that slightly wrong - elephants hide in coconut trees

In know this to be true because Charlie told me.

Tom · « **Reply #17 on:** September 09, 2005, 01:08:48 pm »

Actually the elephant's hide is more like an Indian Rug.

Charlie is just concerned, since one almost jumped on him one night.

if managed properly, kudzu makes great forage for domesticated animals.

Erosion control was not the onyt deciding factor to introduce it.

Tom · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2005, 01:26:41 pm »

Managing Kudzu is like herding Lizards with a switch.

There are two labor intensive jobs I don't' think I would want. One is growing Paulownia and the other is herding Kudzu.
