The local council might be your saviour, then. It is likely that they will be equipped to spray bracken with Asulox, the only really effective bracken control. There is a temporary permission to use Asulox until, I think, the end of October, after which it will become banned again. However if their nature reserve is full of bracken it will come back to your strip of land by rhizome spread.
However, bracken is also susceptible to being physically bashed into submission, though that takes a little longer.
I've approach the council about controlling it, and they havent' offered any help, other than "help yourself".
I though that the asulox permission expired in 2013, but if not, that would be perfect!
Yep, i was looking at the rhizome spread issue, and that's why i wanted to dig out a 2 ft deep trench along the fence with the reserve and stick landscape material along it to prevent it coming in that way, then backfill the trench and plant with something pretty.
