Mum rang me with a gardening problem regarding goats.....her soil is dry,
sandy, slightly acid and under gum trees. She also suffers from marauding
goats....her own, but still.....so she's put in a request to all you
gardening gurus for plants that will handle dry conditions that goats will
not eat...she will be very very grateful!! It's sort of dappled shade in
some parts and full sun in others; she likes cottage gardens and already has
lavendar and rosemary growing. Thanks :)

Goats will eat anything.
They wont eat Electric fenced plants. Mind you it will also surprise
your Mum at times and give her heart quite a Rev/start.

Lol!! I know.....she needs to do that. I think she thinks it's charming the
way they stare stupidly through her glass doors.....

How about through a glass lidded cooking pot?

Lol we used to eat the young males....very nice meat! Now us kids are all
out, there aren't so many mouths to feed so she just has two milkers; the
bush goat from hell and a saanen....less said there the better. For some
reason you always get a bad tempered goat who's a great milker, or a placid,
slightly silly one who's just ok.
