HEllo All!!..
So.. we reside on a small but abundant 2 acre homestead. I raise goats and chickens , but am now realizing just how seriously bad my pasture is!!! ... And with only 2 acres to work with . . I'm trying to make the best of it!! See, we have a ton of thistle and cockleburr.. also known as burdock.. which makes for a huge mess in the fall!!!!!.. and it multiplies sooo quickly!!
So.. I'm getting crazy with ideas to fix this problem .. I normally would never think of using a weed killer such as Round Up or anything similar to that .. but I don't know any other option!!! which brings me to my biggest dilemma!!.. for anyone that may have any help , advice, or suggestions... would the goats try and eat the weeds that i spray with round-up , ya think?? I"d like to rotate them to make sure everything would be safe.. .but like I said I'm limited on space!!!
BUT.. if i can answer this question of mine .. then my next step would be to lay down some good pasture seed mix!.. just getting to this step is my problem right now!!
All suggestions are VERY welcome!!!!
