France Clémence Fradet ...lol I do that with my knees rounding the plant...then cut off the pony tail...love how it all falls after the cut...by hand...now using the electric clippers is easy if you don’t end up cutting the cord...you got it tho...Gas...carry on....my bad...
Hi Simon, here's a quick tip for you, please try this as it's soooo quick. Tie just above the cut line with duck tape and another midway up if tall and cut with hedge cutter, no clearing up as it stays as one bundle so goes straight into bag or garden bin. You certainly won't do it any other way once you try this.
...another way I refresh my pampas grasses...is a flash burn off...nothing near or over them so flame hurts nothing...all the pampas grasses...gone in 30 seconds...lol...fast fast burn off...after winter...
Good to see you are back to work now mate. The weather in lancashire has been bad lately and really got to me, like you said it could. I'm like you back out working again so hopefully on the up. Great vids mate. Take care speak soon.
Just came across this video as we’ve just moved and our garden is very heavy clay soil and holds on to the water in winter, I have a pampas grass which is about (4 years old ) in a pot could I put it into our new garden?
nice one simon. i divide the same way as yourself (quicker) but do you remember the other method (not so easy) back to back forks. good bit humour at the end LOL. atb.
I have a 10meters border of Hakonechloa. I strim it at this time of year, it cuts it easy and I just sweep or rake the debris and then vacumn the rest. However I am trying to thin the inside of the border to stop it growing too deep. What a tough plant now it is mature. I can't get through it. My spade won't cut it, I have a garden hand tree saw and that wont cut it either. My husband wouldn't let me use the chain saw because of the soil which is understandable but I felt desperate. This is the time to divide it. I love it but its grown a little uneven and wavy on the inside so I want to tidy it up. Any advice please.
Thanks Alex. They are good so far...not quite the grunt of the stihl ones I had before but seem ok so far. Longevity is what I need, which is why I changed from stihl, so time will tell.
