Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Ogmore Vale
On Ogmore Vale properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Ogmore Vale sits on the Ogmore river north of Bridgend, where old colliery sites and the riverside path spread knotweed.
