Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Cwm
On Cwm properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Cwm is a former mining village in the Ebbw Fawr valley between Ebbw Vale and Aberbeeg in Blaenau Gwent.
