We have a lot around the edges of our property and up the steep hills, but also have lots of pasture so I suppose we have been lucky so far with plenty of grass for feed. Since moving here over 10 years ago we have steadily attacked the lantana and always chop it down, break it up and stack it. Around 9 months later it disintegrates into mulch. Quite often the roots are very easy to pull out. Its the most effective way we think to get rid of it. I find it quite therapeutic actually and removing the lantana often reveals rock walls and such like hidden underneath. We are all hills and dales here with a creek running through the middle and nearly 100 acres so I have plenty to get on with.

F...Vale Donald - he sounded like a super cool bull. Funnily enough, Lantana has (for me!) a wonderful fresh bushy smell. 'Lantana soil' was much sought-after for gardens years ago because of its humus-like qualities.<br />I've enjoyed Grass Roots almost from its beginning and used to subscribe. These days I read it from the Library, that way I don't get an ever-increasing pile of once-read magazines. In the unlikely event that my name comes out of the hat, please send 'my' copy on to someone else who has not read it.Elaine coolowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558012226587511418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-21097531361917233422014-04-10T07:01:34.838+10:002014-04-10T07:01:34.838+10:00Oh Liz!
