Goat rental has since become a more publicly acceptable form of weed abatement according to TheStreet.com: "Whether you have just enough front or back yard to get overgrown and unwieldy or find yourself overrun with nasty, prickly, invasive plants that just won't go away, nature has already devised the ultimate solution to your problem."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thestreet.com/story/11888168/1/the-5-strangest-and-best-lawn-and-garden-care-tactics-you-can-buy.html )〕
