As you can see, the field has a considerable layer of rotten flora from previous clearings, the soil is nowhere visible. If I wanted to plant native plants, I believe I'd have to get rid of existing mulching in order to ensure that the seeds make contact with the soil. I think that this could be one way to recover the plot:

Rake the cleared area of the plot.
Get rid of existing mulching.
Probably clear the area again.
Cover the land with a tarp for some time
Plant the seeds.

This actually looks like at least a couple seasons project. Could this work? Do you see any alternatives?

CLEARED BRAMBLE

This is the biggest patch of bramble. Around 2 meter (6,5 ft) wide and 4 meters long area.
