BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

It can get pricey, and goats aren't as quick as weed-whackers, but getting a goat to do the weeding is about as eco-friendly as landscaping gets.

NYer Ashrita Furman holds the world record for the longest time yodeling (27 hr).

What's more annoying than a 100-decible yodel?

The Bite

The sound of a gas-powered lawnmower. So skip the mowers and get your goat. The scrub-grass we loathe is like French fries to billies, so rent a few four-legged lawnmowers for pesticide-free weed-clearing.

 

The Benefits

 

Goats eat it all, including typically hard-to-weed blackberries, poison ivy and oak, and thistles.

It's yodel-ay-he-healthier. Of the 30 most commonly used lawn pesticides, 19 have been linked to cancer.

Quiet as a yodeler with laryngitis. Unlike weed-whackers, goats hardly make any noise at all.

 

Personally Speaking

For a Halloween party one year, Jen's mom went all out. She dressed up as Heidi and rented a goat. Everyone was totally into it...until they realized why the floor was so sticky.

 

Wanna Try?

 

Goatfinder - goat-rental directory with listings in 11 states. Also: a breeders' directory if you're in the market for a new pet (about $100-$200/acre).
