Why bindweed is a problem in Dorchester
On Dorchester properties, bindweed twines through hedges, fences and shrubs, and the deep white root system regenerates from fragments left in the soil. Dorchester's Roman heritage and the River Frome's disturbed water meadows, alongside former railway sidings near the old cattle market, have given knotweed a foothold spreading into Thomas Hardy's former haunts.
