Kudzu. It's taking us places?
Kudzu is being looked at as a potential source of biofuel. Cool. That would show it who's the boss!

2. Kudzu has lot of uses.
Between hemp and kudzu we would have it made.

Both plants are to easy grow, anyway.

3. If we started harvesting Kudzu at the rate that would be needed
to make enough fuel for all of us, can you imagine the speed of soil depletion as it kept growing back over and over again?
:wow:

It would be wonderful to have a viable bio-fuel. But I worry that we'd turn the whole south into a depleted dustbowl because of it. :(
