I have a great idea for a solution to eyesores such as old abandoned factories, homes, etc.
I had this last night when a local news station was talking about an abandoned factory and a pile of sticks, bricks, etc., that created an eyesore in Pelzer, SC.

Here's my solution:















It grows so fast by the end of the summer the eyesores will no longer be visible.

Detroit, Flint, you can try it too! Maybe with global warming kudzu will grow there nowadays.

If not, maybe a government grant for some research into genetically engineered kudzu that will endure very cold temperatures. That'll create some jobs for some biology majors....

3. So, you are saying you are "bullish on kudzu. It's going places."
:P

4. Yep!
How fast does kudzu grow?

Kudzu can grow up to 7 feet (over 2 meters) per week if conditions are right. In the American South it very often does grow at this rate because of the climate and soil.
