    Why stinging nettles is a problem in Leeds

    On Leeds properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Leeds' former textile mills and extensive canal network, including the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, have left brownfield riverside land along the Aire Valley where knotweed spreads through old rail corridors.
