Come on down and load up all you want. It may do fine up there with
winters and having it die back etc , but its a major problem in the
south. I woul d not wish a stand of kudzu on my worst enemy, well
except for one or two perhaps. I had a spot of it starting to grow
and and I jumped on it right away once I found it. It toopk almost 5
years of working at it, and now I can safely say I am yet again kudzu
free.

Kudzu is a very _bad_ idea.
It's invasive and nearly impossible to kill. Because of its density,
it destroys nearly every plant in its path -- including trees --
damaging the local ecosystem in ways that would take decades to
restore.

Anyone in the South would call this crazy. Zudzu grows exceptionally
fast, covers street signs, covers homes, and shades/kills trees and
bushes. You might consider some other ground cover. Pachysandra
should grow well. Other options include grass, lily of the
valley,vinca, and a variety of vines. Not sure if kudzu would grow
well in Michigan. If it did, you'd regret ever planting it. Roundup
does not stop kudzu. BTW, we have zudzu festivals here. It is
edible.

Oh yes I would call it crazy for sure. I am in Georgia.
We spent our lives pulling it out of everything. PLEASE don't think
about planting it. There are other more nature friendly vines you can grow.
Google it.

since it's listed as an illegal invasive foreign species, i
doubt you *will* find anyplace reputable that will sell you
kudzu plants or seed.

I would be weary of eating any weed from the south--in the Appalachians
they have "ramp" festivals where they harvest the wild ramp (a type of
leek). The stuff smells when you cook it and makes you smell aweful
after eating it. I would worry about the same with Kudzu. :)

Try investigating Crown Vetch. You could also try contacting
the local MSU Extension office for your county and see what
they would suggest. If you're on the Michigan side of the
lake see:

Vivian oh please,there are some things they eat up North that would make me
puck.
Cows eat it but it takes two years for them to kill it and it grows to fast.
Drink Milk?
Here are some recipes for ya'll. :)
http://home.att.net/~ejlinton/jelly.html
BTW Kudzu has even made it to New York (probably someone on vacation and
decided to take some home?)
so if anyone thinks it dies in the winter...it doesn't.
The roots are there ready to pop back up next spring. I know when we have
had our first frost by
when the Kudzu wilts but it is there waiting for the next warm weather to
rejuvenate and grow like crazy.

Maybe so, but it is still commonly planted as a soil
stabilizer. Even by our local government agencies. I suspect
if you look around you will still find it being used as such
in your area too (shrug).

Kudzu is not a good idea like everyone said.
Check with your local cooperative extension for what the best plant is.
