The question of how to get rid of this comes up frequently on
Gardeners Question time (Radio).
It amazes me how ignorant these so-called "experts" come up with crap
about mowing and FK what else.


The answer is simple.
Go out and buy "Asulox".
Spray in July (there is little/no apparent effect).
Next year, no bracken grows.


Simples. What's wrong with these dopey pillocks?
It's been out for twenty years to my knowledge.

Firstly, it is not approved for amateur use. *Secondly, there have been
moves to ban it for professional use, but it may survive:http://www.nfus.org.uk/news/2011/mar...m-ban-reprieve

There is no substitute available. It won't be banned, half our hill
farm would disappear in a decade without it.
