How to Conquer Air Potato: Air Potato Roundup Results

Thanks all the volunteers who helped gather air potatoes and pick up trash. We only found about 15 potatoes! This means that we are finally on top of this tenacious exotic plant after 6 years of spring roundups and about 3 years of summer herbicide applications on the vines!!!! Persistence pays off.

Ed Rutherford deserves much of the credit for spraying vines and picking potatoes on a regular basis. Ed we at Duval Audubon really appreciate you efforts. Thanks for all your help at Crosby.
