Invasive
: "Balsam is literally everywhere in boultham park. Ill be back over the holidays to chip away at it. Any idea why the council doesn't sort infestations like these out? Balsam is relatively easy to remove, you can just pull it out with your hands and it won't come back since its an annual."
