After a steady regular tackling of this problem over the past past two months we are on top of it.
That is this side of Ulverston.
This morning we were down to finding just a few plants.
One of them had a great sense of humour.
It was where we didn't expect to find it : lots of shade, nothing much growing - "there won't be any down there", territory.
But there was - one in full bloom - on a little island - ready to distribute thousands of seeds down into the beck below, to be carried down to the patch we had been clearing for all this time.
Now we just have to deal with the plants that come next year from seeds that are still lying dormant ready to germinate when we aren't looking.
With the Balsam gone we can look forward to a much wider variety of plants coming back with the accompanying insects that will attract other wild life.
In anyone sees some upstream we'd like to know.
