That is such a COOL article on weeding with geese!! We used to have 4 of the asian geese that have long necks and looked like swans when in the pond. They weren't anywhere near the garden. We gave them away as they were getting picked off by coyotes. I didn't know they left broad leaf alone when chowing down on the grass! I emailed this to my husband. I think this could be a solution for us to put into place down the road. I'm really excited about this! He can only acomplish about one project per year as he has a fatigue issue from having Multiple Sclerosis but our garden and orchard (very young trees) are butted up against the pasture fence so the fencing in wouldn't be a big issue. Mostly a money issue in buying the turkey wire to wrap around the barbed wire and the building of a house for them. I can't wait for him to get in the house to talk about this!!!
