For those of you who are architects, builders or home-improvers in Washington State, and need to clear off some rough, brushy land before you can begin work, BUT ALSO want to be as green as possible, I have good news!
“…rather than spending tons of money and time on diesel-powered machines, filing the proper permits, and administering dangerous herbicides, the Seattle-based Rent-a-Ruminant organization will loan you a team of 100 goats for all your brush-clearing needs” - Excerpt from a great article about RAR
That’s right! GOATS. They put up a fence, let the goats go to town, and then chop down any rough stuff the animals couldn’t eat (FUN FACT: Goats cannot eat everything. I do believe they can eat shoes and cans, though. Maybe I just want to believe). With apologies to any industrial design readers who might be developing various weed-whacking products that the moment, can a more simple, elegant solution be devised for clearing land of brush? Both customer and vendor benefit, not to mention that the goats get to eat as much as they want, which I’m pretty sure is their goal in life. (BONUS: Rent-A-Ruminant will even throw in fertilizer for free!)
Deceptively simple, totally perfect.
