Why ragwort is a problem in Frome
On Frome properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Frome's steep-sided River Frome valley once powered its woollen mills, and the disturbed mill leats and old industrial terraces around Trinity have left knotweed firmly established through the town.
