Kat, I am with you... Before we bought this house, portions of the yard were heavily overgrown, and potato vines were in there... They chopped it all down to mulch....Did you know, the tiniest piece of one of those potatoes can sprout a new plant, and once they sprout they are nearly impossible to stop? I pull dozens every week and sprayed extensively when I first moved in. No help at all. They are everywhere... I hate them almost as much as tree rats.
