why in the world would you want to grow kudzu?

Sorry Buford, This is kind of a joke on a friend who has recently transplanted to Middle GA and had her first taste of "THE VINE FROM HELL". She is on just about every forum and this was a trick on her. You are of course right. No one in their right mind would want to grow it. I don't have it on my place, but it is in the area and I live in fear of it getting a hold.

ok. Take Walter Reeves advice and if you do plant kudzu, do it at night when no one can see you doing it.....

ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!???? That stuff ruins arces of land in my area.

in my area kudzu can, and often does, grow 1 foot a day! i spray it at our towers inthe hills, i have to mix the RU in a dose that kills small trees, but that is the only way we can keep it back from our towers. we actually replaced the guide wire a couple years ago. by late that summer the kudzu was over 100ft up the new wires! that was when i had to start going and spraying it. that much weight could bring it down. there are almost NO trees or other living vegetation anywhere downthe hill slope from where i quit spraying.

funny that kudzu was brought in to fight erosion, yet aroudn here most erosion takes place in the winter when the kudzu is dead and gone.
