Why ground ivy is a problem in Poole
On Poole properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. Poole's extensive natural harbour and former clay pit workings around the quayside have left disturbed ground where knotweed spreads along the Holes Bay shoreline and old railway embankments.
