Bracken tea for ericaceous feed

thevictorian · June 2022

Hi, I saw someone mention bracken tea and I was wondering if this would make a good feed for my blueberries? I know I can buy feed but we have a local abundance of bracken, plus I'm cheap, and if it might work then I might as well use it.

Thanks

Does the bracken actually break down at all, I have no idea, but it is pretty tough stuff, so it may have no benefit.

I think it does but it might take a while. I know ericaceous compost can have bracken in it which is why I thought the tea might work after spotting it mentioned in the final line here
