Hi Permies,
Does anyone know what a "solution" might be for this South African perennial herb that is considered invasive (problem) here in California? It is a pretty ground cover with bright yellow daisy like blooms. Kind of aggressive, doesn't live in polyculture, perse... I found a research paper that describes it as allelopathic. We have two large swaths of it on our land. It seems to do well where cows used to congregate and compact the soil.
It also seems to bounce back quickly after being driven on and otherwise mashed. I think it propagates easily from chopped up root material too. it scythes nicely but I'm hesitant about making a
compost pile with it (or mulching for crop beds). Any ideas or thoughts appreciated!
here is Calflora's page on it
