[John Fritz <johnfritz77@yahoo.com>]

This is of interest to me.  The county health department recently told me 
that tree in the lateral field of a septic system is a good thing as the 
absorption of water by the roots helps keep the lines from getting water 
logged.   Also, I recently heard (I think on this forum) that black locust is 
not a recommended fodder for goats as it is toxic to them.   Anyone else hear 
this?

I have black locust taking over my yard.  It has sprung up under the
 house, 
invaded water, leach and septic lines.  It was in the yard when we
 bought 
the property.   I would be careful planting it as a border.

That link that was provided earlier had a huge amount of info on how
black locust makes good goat fodder - as long as it isn't the only
thing available to them.  From the top of my head, I think that up to
50% of their feed can be black locust.  The issues appear to be
similar to alfalfa bloat issues, plus some issues with tannins - which
goats have stuff in their innards to deal with a certain amount of
tannins.
