green choices - clearing weeds and brush

If you have some serious brush clearing or weeding to do, instead of using chemicals and lots of labor, you might consider renting a goat. No, I'm not joking. Over the years, friends with goats have used them to keep weeds and brush under control on their own property and have sometimes loaned them out to other folks. This wouldn't be suitable for weeding around a house on a typical city lot. On a vacant lot or larger property...that's a different story. Food for thought...
