User's notes
In grassy woodland; this site was previously treated for Cleavers but also for Spear Thistle and Buchan Weed; there are few annual herbaceous weeds growing now at this site but they are of large size since they benefit from less competition in a high-nutrient soil environment (my guess). The replacement herbs are mostly annual exotic grasses the hope is native ground-cover species such as Kidney Weed will move in over time.
