Why couch grass is a problem in Leek
On Leek properties, couch grass sharp white rhizomes run through borders, lawns and vegetable plots, regrowing from every broken fragment. Around the market town centre and the Roaches, Leek'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 Staffordshire.
