Now, that is interesting to consider. I hadn't thought about their role in spreading all the poison ivy and bittersweet vine around our place.
Seriously, if poison ivy was a cash crop, I'd be a millionaire.

If you have any neighbors with goats, goats love to eat poison ivy, and it doesn't harm them at all!
Funny - I just heard about a woman who rents out her flock of goats to clear out brush and shrubs. We may end up hiring her!
It's a good investment, so long as you keep them out of stuff you want kept alive!
I was thinking about this while I was on my run, and remembered that poison ivy seeds pass intact through the digestive system. The goats might just end up re-planting all the plants they removed! I wonder if I could get the goat people to put diapers on their livestock and then incinerate the waste (or at least take it off site).
