Why groundsel is a problem in Irvine
On Irvine properties, groundsel completes several generations a year, so a small patch becomes a season-long seed source across beds and gravel. Irvine sits in Ayrshire, 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.
