I had to look this up. That looks like the kind of shit you want to get rid of, not import. Does it come from a swamp? Why would you want to put this in your yard, mud pit or not?
I want some tall grasses and a yard that doesn't have to be mowed. I've considered other options: rocks, wood chips, mulch, fake grass, etc. This is some stuff we can get for free and it grows easily.
I bet it does, be careful it doesn't eat your house.
Haha there's some folks in my neighborhood that have some patches of that in their landscaping or whatever... not sure about a whole yard of it though? Are you planting it in a large area? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your intentions.
Yeah, I'm gonna put it in patches and maybe have gravel around it. I haven't worked out all the details yet. I'm no gardener by any means. I'll take a picture when it's done. (Never thought this would turn into a gardening thread!)
Haha yeah that makes sense, I thought you were saying you were just going to plant it everywhere like grass in your backyard in which case Kay's comment might become a reality.

Ha, that's what I was envisioning, too. Be careful for what you wish for...Remember once upon a time someone was in Asia and saw some large, pretty green leaves on ropey vines and thought, "Hmm...this sure would be purty back home Down South..."

Apparently, the government funded the planting of kudzu for erosion control. It was also sold as an ornamental.

My mother-in-law, a proper Southern lady from Mississippi, tells a joke:

Q: How do you plant kudzu?
A: Throw it and run like hell.

Alls I know is when someone figures out the non-mow yard solution, please post it here. My dream yard is the white rockpile on Breaking Bad.

That crater is what my back yard looks like right now.
(Front yard ain't all too great either.)

Metallica are now officially not only irrelevant, but posers.
I bet there isn't even a Metallica patch on that vest.

Typically logos on metal vests suggest pride. These read as apologies.

All those patches were delivered at the same time in the same envelope i'd reckon.

Pretty sure I remember lil wayne or someone similar having a denim vest with a bunch of d beat patches on it that was pre made by some company not all that long ago. would be willing to bet hetfield's are from the same place. also does he do a vest costume change part way through the set or are those photos from 2 different shows?

I was watching Friends and a girl said her husband wanted to book "the heavy metal band Carcass" to play her wedding.
