Hi,
Is it possible to reduce the diameter of a pampas grass plant? Ours is
about 4ft in diameter and I'd like to reduce it in size. If it is
posible what do you use...a saw?

I have just cut it back and wondered whats the best thing to do with
the blasted razor edged clippings. Can they be put on the compost?

Thanks


After a few of weeks hacking away at a huge pampas grass plant one of
my neighbours stacked a bonfire on top of it and set fire to it. It
hasn't regrown yet but I'm told it can survive most fires.

Checking pampas for inhabitants before the fire was another major
task.
