WARNING Moth Plant pods!!
The seed pods of this nasty pest plant are maturing now, and will soon release hundreds of seeds that are carried long distances by the wind www.weedbusters.org.nz...
Remove the pods (carefully - wear gloves to protect yourself from the irritating sap..) and put them in the rubbish, not your compost bin.
Pull up the root if you can, or cut the vine near the ground. Dab a blob of herbicide gel (if you have that) on the freshly-cut stump.
