If you just want to cut it back (make it smaller) and not eradicate it
altogether. (in which case fire is indeed the most effective
method...eventually). Just use an electric hedge trimmer and ruthlessly cut
away until you just have a ball of brown dead material left in the
middle...It wont stay this way for long, in 2 seasons you'll be back where
you started

Hi Guys

I have a HUGE clump of pampas grass and want to cut back but have NO
idea where to start, any ideas on how to do this and when?

Thanks
