Why groundsel is a problem in Farnborough
On Farnborough properties, groundsel completes several generations a year, so a small patch becomes a season-long seed source across beds and gravel. Around the airfield and the town centre, Farnborough's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Hampshire.
