Reclaiming nettle and bracken bed ???
Reclaiming nettle and bracken bed ???
Used to be veg garden, some bracken still among the nettles, will it be ok to plant anything in this year. I was thinking of potatoes - soil is very good. Am slowly getting rid of nettle roots, good for the soul after a hard day in the office.
Am worried about possibility of poisonous bracken roots and veg. Watched a programme the other night with Alan Titchmarsh who said that in the wild nothing will grow with bracken except a certain violet and it make me think about my veg.
Any advice?

I doubt you'll eat a bracken root by mistake! I grew potatoes on slightly brackeny land and I'm still here twenty years later!
