Pampas grass problem

| that exists. It was not especially difficult to dig up, & no remnant of
| its root ever generated a new plant.
If well-grown and in an appropriate location, it is very
attractive - even spectacular. If not, not.
It burns well, too, and doing so before starting to remove it
can save a lot of blood and cursing. Alternatively chain mail.
I can't see any point in using a herbicide, because dead pampas
grass leaves don't fall off and are as sharp as live ones.
