The main method of non-chemical control of Himalayan balsam, and usually the most appropriate, is pulling or cutting the plants before they flower and set seed. Our StreetCare teams carried out 'balsam bashing' together with a staff work party to clear the weed from riverbanks on the Frome in Yate. There is a very short window in June/July to do the important clearance work. | South Gloucestershire Council
