I have a random question for New River residents! After the rains this year so far, our entire lot (over an acre) is COVERED in weeds. Fluffy green weeds. I tried pulling them and have been doing this for four days š© only getting through about 1/4 of the lot. There has to be a better way. We don't want to spray chemicals. I have looked into non-chemical ways, such as vinegar, salt and Dawn soap. If we spray them, they will die but then we would still have to pull them. My son was driving on New River Road today and saw someone managing a herd of goats that were eating the same weeds as we have. Has anyone ever done this before? Does it work? Are there people that rent their goats for this purpose? Any help is appreciated! I'm done sitting in the dirt weeding lol!
