Yes, I'm QUITE serious! I need to know if anyone in this forum has had any experience with this process or knows where I can locate the machines that can process the kudzu into cloth.

I'm in the process of working to reopen a model cloth manufactuirng facility in western North Carolina using kudzu. If you don't know any thing about kudzu, it is a vine that can LITERALLY take over any thing pretty rapidly - buildings, utility poles, cars, railraod tracks, etc. It can grow at a foot per day! It is one of the biggest problems in the South.

My vison is to build the first model manufacturing plant and then reopen more plants and put people back to work in this industry.

I'm already working with a well known Hollywood designer that is willing to look into using kudzu cloth for her new EcoFashions.

So PLEASE let me know if you know any thing!

Thanks,

Hugh
