I just discovered Nancy Basket from Walhalla SC. She loves kudzu and uses it all the time. How wonderful! I looked up and found she's got a website www.nancybasket.com.
I also found a site where it shows how to make a kudzu basket.
http://www.knowitall.org/naturalstate/html/kudzu-basket/Kudzu-16.cfm I have all of this kudzu picked now, so I'm ready to make some baskets. I am going to work in the carport where I have more room than I do on the front porch.
I just love finding this information! Wonderful! I want to go meet Nancy! She sounds like a wonderful person!
She made a kudzu bale barn! She uses small kudzu leaves for making quiche! Wow, marvelous! She weaves big mats with it, too. She even uses it to make paper!
Wow, drop me anywhere on the planet and I'll find out how to use the foliage! Muahahaha!
