The last thing I burned in my garden was a pampas grass plant which was
getting large enough to overpower me....

That stump crumbled away to a nice loamy mulch the following year.

So did the fire kill the pampas grass? I thought some people burned the
dead foliage off anyway on those to just clean them up rather than kill
them?

I've got a couple of large clumps of it myself and was pondering if a
match sometime over Winter might clean them up. The dead stems are a
pain to trim by hand and they are very sharp on bare skin.
