I am interested in propagating KUDZU to plant in certain areas (where
it can be controlled - should be a lot easier than bamboo) that can
benefit from its role as a nitrogen fixer and in other areas where it
can engulf and shade out other weeds (Bermuda grass and Johnson grass)
use. Upon harvest it could be used as livestock feed, mulch and as an
ingredient in compost.

Question: What is the best way to propagate it?
