Why stinging nettles is a problem in Athlone
On Athlone properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. In Athlone, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Shannon and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Athlone Castle and Lough Ree, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Moate and Glasson, are where we most often find established stands.
