Hints for planting Kudzu:
Chop a hole in an asphalt driveway with an old hatchet. Drop in a kudzu
seed and follow with a quart or more of used crankcase oil. Replace the
chopped-out asphalt with fresh, hot tar and gravel.
Then stand back.
Here in central Virgina, kudzu (luckily for us) freezes back to its roots
each year, but it still manages to recover to grow 40-50 ft during the
summer, smothering trees, covering old buildings and climbing utility
poles.
Just an object lesson -- never, never import and release to the wild an
alien plant or animal no matter how attractive or useful it seems to be.
