[at-l] Kudzu---

[plodder2 at backpacker.com (Larry Galyen)]

There are actually recipes on the market for this stuff.  Never tried them, mostly just mumbled at the stuff.  Tried one time to hack through some on my property and gave up.

> Last time I was there, there were huge amounts of it around Cherokee, NC.  It was growing up the sides of the mountains on the SE side of the Smokies.  When we hiked down into Nantahala from the south, we hiked behind a veil of kudzu along the trail.  It had grown up from the trees on the inside of the trail, jumped over to the crowns of the trees on the outside of the trail, and the vines were hanginging down.  Interesting but destructive.  They have purple blossoms that smell like grape Kool-Aid.  I don't know exactly how far north it grows, but you don't want it on your property.

PEOPLE -- some make things happen, some watch things happen, and the majority have no idea what's happened.
