[QUOTE="Pistonbroke, post: 7143917, member: 49540"] Our common has been made an SSSI and stocking rates or grazing rights reduced all on the recommendations of environmental bodies( rspb etc ). By choice I would gladly kill off all the bracken but it's a helicopter and asulox job which is very expensive and a bit hit and miss for success. Patches sprayed have sometimes stayed clear for ten years,sometimes only two. Without follow up work it can be an expensive waste of time because you can't get machinery onto the areas treated. The easier bits to get on,the graziers want left for free bedding and it gets pretty tribal! Some would rather let you have your way with their missus than give up part of their "patch". Never had a problem with ticks until four years ago and now a big problem so we dose with crovect when the sheep go out [/QUOTE]
