(ugh!!!)

i was wondering if anyone has a good method to kill a big stand of pampas
grass? everyone was saying to us "burn it", however, we left that far too
late in the season & now we'd not only have trouble controlling the fire,
we'd probably get ourselves arrested even if it was controlled g.

at the moment it's been hacked right down to a lump, but the rotten thing is
sprouting again. what to do? is it possible for, say, one's husband to dig
it out? g
(farm1 - this might need more than good old boiling water! ;-)

thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.
