    We live on Vancouver Island and my garden is overun with native ferns (that I never introduced).
    Their giant size, so lovely in the wild, completely hides everything in our japanese garden. And because they are growing between cracks and out from under boulders, I can't dig out the roots.
    Any ideas?..We have a weed torcch, but a quick google came up with that as being less than satisfactory.

    Lady ferns? Hard to believe that repeated torching of these would not kill them.
