Growing flowers maybe another option. Garlic, ginger and truffles are high revenue crops that don\u2019t take up much space. Market gardens can be intensively and sustainably managed.

However, often what is actually needed is a shift in our thinking about said weed. For example, gorse in New Zealand is considered a pest because we desire pastural land unhindered by spiky invasive bushes, but gorse only establishes itself on land that is eroded with poor soil. The gorses deep tap roots are actually binding and healing the land as well as fixing nitrogen to make the soil rich \u2013 just dig a spadeful under a gorse bush and observe! You may need to find your peace with whatever weed you have to deal with \u2013 we advocate removing it where you may want to grow food and require access and letting it regenerate where bush is to regenerate to provide an ideal nurse crop for forestry. Kykuyu can be effectively managed organically with black plastic as it is light sensitive.
