    Why stinging nettles is a problem in Stoke-on-Trent

    On Stoke-on-Trent properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Stoke-on-Trent's dense network of former pottery works, marl pits and railway sidings along the Trent and Mersey Canal has left disturbed, nutrient-poor ground where Japanese knotweed spreads readily, particularly along embankments near Etruria and the River Trent.
