    Can we get rid of Kudzu??

    Agro*Gas plans to break ground on an ethanol producing plant in McMinn County (TN) or a surrounding county by end of the year and hopefully begin production in 2009.

    read an article on ESPN back in the fall that NASCAR was looking into using it for fuel in the future. Costs less and grows 2 inches per day. Evidently there was a spot around Wilkesboro, NC (I think) where it grew abundantly and they could take some and officials could grow their own which would be enough to fuel 43 teams for a couple of years, due to high rate of growth by the plant.

    The root is a large potato-like tuber. The starch is used in Asia as a thickening agent. The Japanese are quite fond of it.

    Take the bloom of the plant, steep it and make jelly out of it. It is very good.
