Hi from Shropshire. 

Thank you all for the above. 
We have 2 acres of ground with about 30% bracken cover.

The ground has not been worked for years, we have started to work it, I have scythed the crosier shoots 3 times over the last month, looks like I need something to trample them.

I thought braken could be used as a soil conditioner as I rememeber my Grandfather collecting it, dried and using it on his allotment.

yes it can according to the soil association article link - so reap the benefits once you've cut it/removed it.  We havnt been removing the litter so I will definitely be doing that differently this year

I've seen it used as mulch in one of the big gardens open to the public around here - can't remember where, of course...
