Why chickweed is a problem in Dover
On Dover properties, chickweed sets seed within weeks and smothers beds, vegetable plots and new planting through the cooler months. Around Dover Castle and the white cliffs, Dover's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Kent.
