| Just thought you would like to know that, over several years, I have largely transformed a completely weed infested block (as in our garden) in the middle of suburbia to a self sustaining indigenous oasis.
Obviously most of the grasses have established self sustaining populations of each species. But also Wahlenbergia comunis, Brachyscome basaltica, Bulbine semibarbata, Linum marginale, Microseris lanceolata are among the species that are self seeding all over the place.
Pelergonium rodneyanum is spreading, though it is hard to tell whether that is as a result of rhizomatous spread or from self seeding.
The point is that, from this, you can't really argue that revegetation in heavily weed infested areas is a total waste of time and always doomed to failure. I think the problem is that people and councils tend to try and spread their efforts far to thinly. |
