Why stinging nettles is a problem in Christchurch
On Christchurch properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Christchurch's confluence of the River Avon and River Stour has created disturbed floodplain ground where knotweed spreads readily, aided by former gravel extraction pits near the historic priory.
