I'm not sure exactly what plants you are referring to, Mary. If by stink weed you mean skunk vine (Paederia foetida), while scientists are looking for biological controls, your best option right now is spraying with an herbicide containing glyphosate, making sure not to get any on nearby plants. If by potato weeds you mean sweet potato vine, the same strategy obtains.

Douglas the stick weed looks like but smaller leaves like a Morning Glory. The potato weed has a leaves like white potato but lighter.The roots for the potato weed is bumpy/round.So far I have to pull the potato and not leave and parts of it.If you do it roots fast.I can't seem to find anything plants or killer to over grow it. I will try what you suggested.Thank you for your help. These weeds/vines are killing my Citrus trees and other trees. Mary
