Why goosegrass (cleavers) is a problem in Risca
On Risca properties, goosegrass (cleavers) scrambles rapidly over hedges and borders, smothering new planting and seeding heavily within a single season. Risca sits in the lower Ebbw valley, where the Crumlin Arm of the canal, the river and the railway all carry invasive weeds.
