Volunteers from UNCA spent part of their Saturday morning, Aug. 13, clearing invasive plant species from on the corner of St. Dunstans Road and McDowell Street, in a Quality Forward project — Asheville Greenworks. This spot will be reclaimed, cleaned and planted with native plant species.

Thank you to AGW for your hard work! Ever think about using goats to help control the kudzu? I wonder what plants they are going to put in its place. Is it something that will keep the kudzu from coming back?

I agree with Jordan. What could possibly compete with Kudzu? Short of napalm, little will repel the stuff (although i agree that maintenance with grazing animals makes more sense than alleged eradication)

While the work they did was impressive and appreciated it is but a small dent in the amount of kudzu that has taken over that area. Godspeed to all kudzu fighters out there.
