Its starchy roots plunge deep into the soil, and just a fragment of the plant remaining in the ground is enough to allow it to come back next season.  Few houses are abandoned and allowed to be taken over by vegetation. However, in parts of the south including the city of Atlanta those that are, are susceptible to being engulfed by kudzu. Is it really possible for this extremely irritating weed (to put it mildly) to be useful? If you look for home update soon, this can be nice accessory for your house…
