In addition, it takes about $5,000 per ha per year to control kudzu. For power companies, it costs about $1.5 million per year to repair damage to power lines. Kudzu management is of great concern in the management of national parks in the southeast such as Vicksburg National Military Park, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In Vicksburg, kudzu has invaded 76 of the 800 total ha of the park and threatens to diminish the historical value of the park." Just promise me you won't drop any seeds in your garden, okay? ;-) I don't think it grows around here. We have a lot of wild Broom (Cytisus scoparius) though. (Maybe I should run those through my shredder and make some compost). @Johnboy: Impressive results by Charles Wilber – and it’s probably easy to find some kudzu:

Rod Turner should get out more. From what I have seen, Charles Wilber makes the world's best compost. His book, How To Grow World Record Tomatoes, tells you exactly how to make it. The book is inexpensive, perhaps $12 or so on Amazon, which is much cheaper than the $35 e-book 'World's Best Compost' Rod Turner is selling. So how do I know all this? Because Charles Wilber made it into the 1987 Guinness World Record Book. He grew a Better Boy tomato plant to 20 ft tall and it produced 352 lbs of tomatoes. The commercial average is perhaps 10 lbs of fruit per tomato plant. He also grew Silver Queen corn to 17 feet tall, each plant yielding several ears of corn. He also grew a 6 foot, 2 inch pecan tree, in 1 growing season, FROM SEED!! I'm only scratching the surface here, folks. Apparently, Charles Wilber's kudzu compost is the world's best compost, and he can prove it. He has a Guinness World record. Where is Rod Turner's Guinness World Record World’s best compost you say?
