Carpe dirt

Ok my filthy hippie friends, now is your chance.

I has a kudzu. A fuckton of it. I'm clearing my back yard and I'd like to do something useful with it. What I really want to do is burn it, but that's not doable right now.

So I've been told it makes excellent compost. This is good. I want to start growing some stuff. Compost is good for this. So, my filthy hippie friends, my question to you is:

What is the easiest way to turn kudzu into compost? Stress is on easy, with a side of cheap.

1. Borrow a goat.
2. Leave goat alone with Kudzu.
3. Profit!

Though in the city that might be as helpful as "assume a spherical course".

The second easiest is to just leave ALL of that in a corner and let it rot for a while. The part I'm not so sure about is if the vine itself will break down, Old kudzu is pretty woody, So I think the easiest thing to do would be to feed it into something that will help shred/chip it like a goat :D
