This is a hideous pest, however I think Tradescantia (sorry don't know the
species of the wretched thing) and Vinca major are WORSE. At least if you
go on grubbing up oxalis it eventually admits defeat - tradescantia, NEVER.
I recently read an article in a garden mag about an NZ couple who had it in
their garden and it took them something like 5 years of hand weeding to get
rid of it. These 2 plants and ivy seem to regard glyphosate as a fertiliser.
Also no one seems to've mentioned Tecomaria capensis. Just try and get rid
of that - I misguidedly planted it as a screen 10 years ago. However,
fingers crossed, I don't have convolvulus YET.
