Why couch grass is a problem in Carlisle
On Carlisle properties, couch grass white underground stems run right through borders, lawns and vegetable plots, regrowing from every broken piece. Carlisle sits in Cumbria, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
