I rented a house on Martha's Vineyard one time and the owner had a company come in and fence off the backyard and put a bunch of pigs in there to clear it out. It was heavily overgrown with grass, brush, small trees, and shrubs. In a week the pigs had completely cleared the whole area out, even ripped out the roots of the shrubbery / small trees. Quite impressive.
- codyb 7y agoI read an article somewhere, maybe the New Yorker, maybe the NY Times (a new found goat obsession?) which talked about some, I guess herders upstate who take in goats and then rent them out all around the North East to eat grasses. Seemed like a neat businesses, and I guess if I’d have been lucky I might have seen them in NYC happily eating grasses in Central and Inwood parks. Sometimes you just gotta eat away your problems before they eat away at you I suppose :-).
