Why ground ivy is a problem in Dunstable
On Dunstable properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. Dunstable 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.
