Scotch broom is an invasive plant which grows all over the valley. It likes to grow in disturbed soil, especially after a timber harvest or along power line rights of way. Although it is a legume and fixes nitrogen in the soil, its prevalence keeps local plants from getting established. The seeds can last for 80 years! We have to dig it up to contain it, Here at Harmony Jack Farms, our cattle will not eat it, but the goats do! These goats are eating some of the young spring shoots on the plants...now if they would eat ALL of the scotch broom, we wouldnt have to dig it up!
