Re: [LincolnTalk] Recommendation for goats for weeding? (Michelle Barnes)

[Sara Mattes]

Hi Michelle, Years ago, the National Park used sheep. They were very effective, as I recall…and certainly a pleasure to watch. Nancy Nelson, former Superintendent, lives in Concord and might offer a review of the efficacy of that project.

The other option I can think of (that doesn’t involve chemicals) is solarizing it for three years… Best, Michelle Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Sunday, October 8, 2023, 11:43 AM, Kathleen Lomatoski <klomato...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello Michelle, This message is from friends who live near Menotomy Park in Arlington. They used goats 5+ years ago to help eradicate PI at the park. I'm pretty sure the company we used was Goatscaping, I can't find a working web address for them but their Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/goatscaping/ I’m curious to know more if you find goats to help you.
