^^^yes to all this... otherwise i'd suggest investing in a very sturdy mattock, but even then it can be backbreaking work just to clear small patches of it once it's established!
have recently put a couple of feijoas in the ground which will hopefully fruit some day & propagated some gooseberries for later planting out.
