The City of San Diego has a program that allows property owners to use goats to manage brush on their properties. There's even a permit application form for it on the city's website. Who knew?
Cindy discovered this the other day when she was working on the Master Gardener Hotline. They had a call from a woman wanting to know how to manage weeds on her property of about two acres. Fortunately, another Master Gardener knew about the city's brush management permitting process and found the link to the application.
The goat contractors must monitor the goats 24 hours a day and have at least two years experience with goats.
Goat contractor? Two years experience? Bet that makes an interesting resume entry.
