Very happy for y’all! I’ve never been to the south, but I’ve heard all about Kudzu, and how hopeless many people feel against it. Let’s go eco-warriors!

Where are your goats

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hope everyone is safe after the storm. Going to need all hands on deck to get the rivers restored and cleaned.

Fabulous video! Conserving Carolina is a collective of individual folks who are passionate enough and dedicated enough to put their hope for a pristine planet into action. We are beyond grateful that their efforts are impacting this incredible corner of the planet. Too, we are inspired by their actions and impacts to try to do our part, We support Conserving Carolina financially, we look for opportunities to collaborate and to spread the word, and we hike the endless miles of trails with a joyful heart. Thank you to every Conserving Carolina staff member, to the volunteers and to the Board. The ripples from your actions are spreading far and wide.

I'm very happy to have found this video. I bought my home and property (4.5 acres) back in march 2020, surprised to see kudzu sprouting in April/May of the same year (about 3 of the 4.5 acres was consumed). I've been battling it ever since with herbicide, and regular mowing. I've managed to push it back to small clusters and forest/wooded growth that (now I know) I can dig down and chop the crown to kill permanently. I'd love to volunteer, and I am located in Spartanburg county. I'll be in touch, keep up the great work!!

In asia they use kudzu root to make food items. KZbin it!

Anyone tried to Cut the main root and give it a small sip of concentrated diquat?

What happens to the huge tubers that remain underground?

Pearl Harbor was Japan's second invasion.

"We are notorious tresspassers " I can relate.

Just a thought. What if you used a 3"or 4" auger to go in beside the root crown to loosen it up. Some ag. and garden suppliers have some rather large diameter but short auger bits for battery drills.

I have read that you can make flour out of the roots.

I believe these are no longer considered endangered? Unless im mistaken. Very fascinating species!

Thank you!

Where to buy Transline killer?

even ahead of Burning Bush!!

Wildlife in Raleigh told me over the phone that turkey is a favorite food source for coyotes and it is great protein for them

I am too old and sick to fight this next to my home in Georgia. Very frustrated.

Im in Connecticut and we have lost the battle against Asian bittersweet its killing everything and no one cares

Warriors indeed! Kudzu is no joke 😳

Kudzu, it is good to see 👀 😢some one take on this plant 🪴. I live in the state of Georgia. I am looking 👀 😏 out my window 🪟 😎 🙂. It is growing on a long line of trees 🌳. 🌳 thanks for doing what you do. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌 💪 😉.

We sure miss John. He was still learning, growing and teaching at the age of 102. An inspiration for those half his age!

You need to stop pushing that pretty little dog around, knocking her out of your way and out of the video. There's plenty of room in the frames for you both IMHO and it doesn't look nice (to me) bullying the sweet creature like that.

Pump helium into the ground kills them. Very nutritious. Goats, sheep, deer, etc. Love it. They are now making kudzu root tincture. Very good for people.

Show some cute activities

Are there any activities in the eastern part of North Carolina?

Do you have a higher quality version upload of this? Feels like we're in the 90s 😂

Trying to get it under control on our property, thanks so much for this

Florida transplants are the worst invasive species in WNC.

So please think twice before u cut this amazing weed, It's been proven to help people with alcoholism and cocain addiction Do your own research but always check before u kill.. I understand it's being invasive lol

Just bought a house in NC that is surrounded by woods and this stuff is the devil. Within a few short months, I am being buried alive. Add in poison ivy and 2 other invasive vine and I'm ready to sell my house after only 5 months of living here.

I am currently a widow, however my soulmate & I married along the French broad River September 16th of 2001, our love is eternal and the French broad River is an oasis in my mind

Dang, that was a great opening shot, surprised that wasn't the clickbait intro.

More Chloe!!! Also great vid, I'll be rewatching this a few times for sure

Thanks to this I ordered some Clopyralid 3 which is the name of the herbicide. Transline is one of the producers but, the name of the herbicide is Clopyralid 3. The stuff isn't cheap though. The cheapest I could find for a gallon was $185.

What is the name of the spray that kills it?????

Terry is awesome! There will be a Stories of the Land article coming out about her in the next couple weeks.

Thank you Terry. You tell a beautiful story with clarity and love.

Great story! Thank you so much.

I'm gardening on a slope in a kudzu valley here in North Carolina. I use a lopper to cut it out of the ground.

Helium will kill it A boy in ga discovered injecting helium in the ground will kill it.

Trails serve as non-motorized travel corridors for physically and economically disadvantaged members of our communities. This component needs to be emphasized more and more, as more and more people are aging, and more and more people are economically being displaced out of their own communities.

I’m in NC and it is taking over the woods behind our house, hoping to get it under control. I wish we could get help with this, it started near the road and has creeped over onto our property in the past five years or so. 🥴

I've got vines over 10" thick how far is that tube in the ground? The kudzu is on 4 properties we had helicopters spray twice and spot sprayed. Last year looked like they never touched it. We have spent $1000s of dollars. Would it be best to burn it all and then spray with herbicide.

So glad I found this video!

Thanks for adding my video to your channel! You all do great work - thank you!

You're a wonderful man, if you had been there when Thomas Hogg was bringing the seedlings to his brother's nursery maybe things would have been a lot better.

Just like with excess body weight it's not "getting rid" of it that is the problem... it's the constant maintenance to keep it from coming back. You know, invasive... so to speak.

I am so a learn about your group. Where are you located????

I just saw the article in Mountain Xpress from last week. I LOVE the work that you are doing and I hope that you have followers to continue this work. I get excited to see people of color out in our mountains. This land is your land and it is wonderful to see people gaining confidence and getting out into it. You and the Blackalachian (Daniel White) are heroes!
