Help! Air potato vines are taking over our park. In the last week, new "potatoes" have started popping up on their stems. What is the best way to get rid of them?
My mom gave me one once and I thought cool instant coverage for the lattice around the a/c. Took me 3 years to get rid of it! You must dig up the potato that the vine is sprout off otherwise it'll sprout again. If you are vigilant you can get rid of it w/in a year.
I asked this question at a seminar given by a local garden guru. One of the others in the audience yelled: "Napalm!"
You have to dig up every one of those buggers by hand. We obviously missed a few and they still sprout up. If they have spread to your neighbors and they don't dig them up, it's an on-going problem. Talk about invasive!
I think a bordering neighborhood yard must be ground zero. We will be fighting this for a long time. In less than a year it has taken over a couple of acres. It's almost creepy to see it all over.
One dropped from a laurel tree onto my windshield while parked at work -- broke the windshield! You don't want to stub your toe on one, or mow into one, either.
