Why ground ivy is a problem in Basingstoke
On Basingstoke properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. Basingstoke's rapid post-war development left pockets of disturbed land along the Basingstoke Canal and the M3 corridor, where knotweed has colonised old brick pits and the former railway sidings near the town centre.
