In our previous home in North Cheshire, we never ever saw this weed. Now living in South Cheshire and most of our flower beds (and the compost heap) seem to be overrun with cleavers.

Drifting off-topic but I was born and brought up in adjacent North Staffordshire and this weed was always 'goose grass'. I didn't hear 'cleavers' until I moved to the East Midlands (South Leics).
