How can I get rid of ferns spreading through my border?

Our Advice:

Cut the stems down to ground level and spray the new growth in spring with Super Strength Glyphosate from Bayer or Deep Root Ultra Tree Stump & Weedkiller from Growing Success. This is absorbed by the young leaves and stems and kills the underground roots.
