Why ground ivy is a problem in Barnsley
On Barnsley properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. Barnsley's former coal mining heritage left widespread colliery spoil tips and disturbed ground along the River Dearne, where Japanese knotweed has colonised old railway lines and reclaimed pit sites throughout the borough.
