Bracken Bashing with a Bracken Basher
Take a heavy-duty tarmac rake, grind off the tines, and weld on two angled braces — and there you have it: a Bracken Basher. Research suggests that bruising bracken is far more effective than cutting it. Repeated over several years, the treatment weakens the bracken's rhizomes until they eventually give up producing new fronds and simply wither away — apparently!
