Geese eat grass.. they do not eat broad
leaves. That means they will leave the broad leave crops alone (if they do not
sit on them) and they will leave the broad leaved weeds alone too. I had geese
in my yard for I think about a dozen years, so my experience is first hand on
this one. Naomi "Few people are capable of
expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their
social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such
opinions." From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org
[mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On
Behalf Of Kieran &/or Donna Back when I thought I wanted geese, I came across info on
small weeder geese that were used in cotton fields in the south. A
dozen geese could do the work of one man with a hoe. They ran them in the
fields early in the season, they ate the grass and produced a luxury meat crop
to sell. They were really necessary during the world wars when manpower
was short. I'd think that some of the organic cotton growers ought to get
in on it. Likewise it seems that for strawberries
the geese are brought in early and get the grass out before the plants get
going good. It's not like they are standing around on the berries in
picking season. The trick is not too many geese, just enough to do
the job. Donna
