Chemical-free weed-control for Ecological Restoration

Jenny from Glenfield

We in Kaipatiki are fortunate to live alongside some of the largest urban forest areas in New Zealand.

Due to the impacts of housing and invasive weeds, few of us have ever seen the astonishing beauty of a garden bordered by strong, healthy native plant communities, from ground covers, herbs, ferns and vines to trees...and the birds they house and feed.

Once freed from destructive weeds, our forest edges achieve their potential in naturally balanced native plant communities, emerging spontaneously from the native seeds and spores already present in the soil, brought by birds, and blown by wind.

Our method is based on 35 years of observation and practical experience in North Shore reserves and their neighbouring gardens, depending solely on knowledgeable plant identification and hand-weeding, tailored to each location’s habitat, landform, soil, and water flow.

Carefully managed on-site decomposition of the weeds and prunings improves the soil and creates low-impact paths, building up the seed-bank, reducing erosion and runoff.
