So Many Blackberries, So Few Goats

The owner of the Rocky Point Mobile and R.V. Park is using, if not a novel approach, at least a green one for controlling blackberries on the property. When I took the photo shown above, the two organic yard machines (aka goats) had already made good progress clearing the growth along the hillside. And that was after a single morning of work. But there’s a lot of brush and blackberries left to go, particularly on the property’s southern border.

For the record the nanny appeared to be a better worker than the billy. The latter was spending more time showing off his great set of horns than in chowing down. Perhaps he was the on-site supervisor. Unless he starts doing his share, the goats could be there for the rest of the week. To head off any danger that they’ll wander out onto Rocky Point Road, the goats are tethered to a rope.
