So the weedy yard has tons of oxalis bulbs. We've been sheet-mulching -- which, in other gardens, has gone a long ways toward getting rid of bermuda grass and bindweed. But oxalis...all those little bulbs...

If you've successfully grown a garden despite oxalis, what worked?

We're putting a new raised bed in part of the yard and filling it with imported soil etc., but I know the oxalis will be lurking a foot below the surface. Would it be worthwhile to try to dig them up before adding the raised bed?
