Why stinging nettles is a problem in Bath
On Bath properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Bath's steep river gorge along the Avon, combined with the disturbed towpaths of the Kennet and Avon Canal and old quarry spoil from Bath stone workings, has given knotweed numerous footholds across the city.
