Why curly waterweed is a problem in Bedford
On Bedford properties, curly waterweed submerged growth fills ponds, canals and fishing lakes, crowding out native aquatic plants and snagging boats. Bedford sits in Bedfordshire, 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.
