Nice Try!Need input from goose keepers. Mentioned I'd seen someone posting on BYC that since they've gotten geese the grass and weeds are kept well trimmed. I mentioned it because A - I've wanted geese forever, so hoping for buy-in, and B - DH has consistently resisted, but also hates mowing, and there's a fair amount to mow here. Not acres or anything, but enough, and most of it can't be done with the tractor so he's walking it. Anyway. His ears perked up, but then he remembered his days working at a golf course and how they hated when local wild geese would spend any time there because they left big, slimy poops everywhere.
My questions: Is it realistic to imagine geese keeping grass and weeds trimmed throughout the growing season? Is it consistent across all geese that they are going to leave big, slimy poops everywhere or is it that wild geese are much worse about this? I suspect it's all geese, but since I've never kept geese thought it worth asking.
TIA
Some Geese are described as being like guard dogs. Maybe go the protection Angle?
