Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in March
On March properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. March's location beside the River Nene old course and its extensive former railway marshalling yards, once among the largest in the country, have left disturbed ground where knotweed continues to spread across the Fens.
