    Ah, thanks, Bodacious, but I don't like the idea of using a banned herbicide.

    Non-farmer here: I've read that fern pollen is a deadly carcinogenic. How many people here use masks and overalls and shower immediately after dealing with ferns?

    Very true, and especially so late July/early August which is the optimim time to kill off fern

    .A lot of walkers no longer hill walk in these months for that reason.

    Masks, overalls and shower immediately is really essential.

    I sprayed a good lot of ditches this year with Grazon. While it done a great job on the briars a noticed the ferns grew mad. Is there anything that cud be done at this stage. Anyone notice the same.

    FIL sprayed under the with roundup last year, nettles, ferns, briars.
    Fields not done are overgrown with ferns.
    Is it too late to spray now?
