Ornamental Grasses - Winter Pruning & Division 

Tie the clump like a ponytail THEN hedgetrim it below the tie... Pick up the bundle and bin it more easily.

Very informative. Great video as always. Thank you Simon.

Hi Simon, another well presented great info video mate... nice one as always

very comprehensive and full of information as always. i love the topiary shaped very creative and fun

Good vid as usual. I like to use an old panel saw when dividing fibrous rooted stuff like grasses.

I like the topiary in the background, keep up the good work 👍

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.

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.

Nice video really helpful, need to start cutting back😯 for the spring.

Many thanks, so useful!!

Really helpful, thanks!

I needed to see this thank you

I use a hedge trimmer cut flat, then I cut out the center out with a saw-all making a hole,that force it to grow tall and controlled

Great video. Off to the bothy for a cuppa now.

See ur usin a trenching shovel, respect my dude

forgot to mention what tool do you use to sharpen your tools can you do a video if you have time 👍👍👍

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.

You're a humble sort😂😂

twist a bunch in your hand, then cut, make a decent shape of the tuft of grass, divide grasses in spring time... they don't need manure!

What’s wrong with good old fashioned shears?

Hi. Sharpen the shovel. It's a bit easier. Good Job.

GT GT GT video and information thanks for your time sub 👍👍👍👍

I worked at Trelissick and Bosvigo. Where do you work?

Thanks for the video! How do you rate the Echo timmers?

when your 40 years of age, you need to plan a pension, mortgage, family - as you won't be so frisky! perhaps tendonitis!

can you garden without machines!

Oh God carpal tunnel syndrome using secateurs for that! Yikes!
