Miekal,

Yeow!  $5 for three seeds?  I guess there weren't any carob trees around.
Just where do you live, Miekal?

bloat.  <<

How long have you been running goats?  About how many do you run?  Do you
milk them or eat them?

Just out of curiosity do you think if you shredded the knotweed then put
goats back on it that they could keep it in check without bloating?

Re: black berries.  I've heard pigs are about the only thing that will
seriously knock it back and that it requires about 14 years to do so!
