Too big to fail
Playing whack a mole with my neighbours ivy. Keeps popping up on my side of the fence. Fuck whoever brought it to Australia.
I’m playing whack a mole with my own ivy. Fuck the prior house owners for letting it get out of hand. I got all of it from the trees and the side of the house but it always grows back. I’m still finding sprouts from thick woody vines that have been there forever apparently. I tried removing it from the fence but realized very quickly that it’s the only thing holding it together. 😒
And fuck the English for bringing it over (we both know it was them, even their plants are colonizers).
Kudzu CONSUME
Nah it’s pretty intent on covering the whole of England too tbh. Good for the bees in September tho ☺️
Kudzu was the last bioweapons unit of the Union army in the US civil war. It never surrendered, it is still fighting the American South, and winning the guerilla war.
What I don’t get is why we don’t eat kudzu.
Where digestion is concerned it’s beans on steroids. It’s pretty rough on methane emissions, smell, and laundry.
IIRC a lot of it has at some point been sprayed with super toxic herbicide to try and kill it off.
Don’t quote me on that though I’m just quoting a Wendigoon video from memory
Because Crake is saving it for some special project at Rejoov.
I hate (and am terrified) that I understood this reference. That series is horrifying.
Kudzu is Chinese arrowroot tho?
