Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Bargoed
On Bargoed properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Bargoed sits above the Rhymney river, where regenerated colliery land and the valley railway give weeds an easy route in.
