We also garden in the top of the South Island and oxalis is rife. We started our suburban garden from new 3 years ago and are learning lots of lessons along the way (some more expensive than others!). We now have a mix of raised beds and Charles Dowding's no dig philosophy. Good to see a channel from a NZ gardener.

Thanks for your comment! It can be tricky to make the "right" decision with regards to gardening sometimes! I was especially surprised to see oxalis make a comeback in the second season, after being absent for the whole first season. Something to keep an eye on for sure. I've also heard that letting chickens run on an affected patch for an extended period can help eliminate oxalis. However, as in my case, that's not possible for everyone.

I have a plot further down the garden. Hopefully I'll bump into you at some point and say hi.

Well, at least you know which plot is mine! See you in the gardens.
