Why couch grass is a problem in Southport
On Southport properties, couch grass white underground stems run right through borders, lawns and vegetable plots, regrowing from every broken piece. Around Lord Street and the pier, Southport'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 Lancashire.
