Hi

I want to buy some asulam based herbicide to deal with bracken. This
doesn't seem to be readily available in local garden centres. Anyone
know of a source?


I find with bracken that if you wait until the stems are at least 18
in. high, you can pull it up using a straight upward pull. It comes up
with a chunk of brown root on the base, and does the plant no good at
all. If you pull it when it's shorter than this, it tends to snap off
as it's still fairly soft and brittle. Clears small patches fairly
easily.
