Why couch grass is a problem in Cookstown
On Cookstown properties, couch grass sharp white rhizomes run through borders, lawns and vegetable plots, regrowing from every broken fragment. In Cookstown, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Ballinderry River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Killymoon Castle and Lough Fea, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Moneymore and Stewartstown, are where we most often find established stands.
