Great news for everyone suffering from kudzu overrun
« on: January 13, 2009, 02:59:43 PM »
Saw a piece on the tube about a guy who has come up with a process to make menthanol from Kudzu.

Finally a use for that nasty vine beyond revenge on your neighbors.

OK you made me look it up



http://www.jjanthony.com/kudzu/


I'm guessing these are the same vines that we see while traveling through NC.

There are some areas I have been to that everything we passed was completely covered. It does smell nice though.

I think I have seen this before, but didn't know it was a house until now



This link has pictures of houses covered in the vine in the Carolina - Georgia area.

The worst part is that some genius from DOT in one of the southern states (not sure which)  IMPORTED the stuff from overseas as an erosion control method.

Saw a lady down here (Georgia) with a T-shirt that said "How To Grow Kudzu" on the front. On the back it said "Throw It On The Ground and RUN!" Thought that pretty well covered it. ;)

We have a endless supply here in Georgia.You can't kill it if you mow it look out it comes back thicker it laughs at weed killer. If this guy has a process to make Menthanol out of Kudzu he could be a rich man here in Georgia.
