    Would this stuff kill the rampant ivy taking over my yard?

    I would recommend finding someone with a herd of goats or sheep nearby. Animals seem to love kudzu, and will have it under control in no time.

    This USDA article has interesting information in it. https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2016/a-faster-way-to-get-rid-of-kudzu/


    I also recommending checking with a local university system or your state university system to see if they have an extension program near you that could provide valuable information and possibly even assistance in your battle to wipe out this invasive monster "ground cover" that smothers and kills everything in its path. You for sure will not have a farm if this pest weed succeeds in taking over.

    The Japanese eat it - find some recipes & start cooking - BEFORE you put weed killer on it! The homeless shelter might enjoy kudzu cooked even if you don't! I THINK they use the rhizome or root!
