    I like the cord tip. If you have several large grasses though, a chain saw is the ONLY way to go. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you sooo much for this tip! I have grasses and have to depend on others to trim them, but now I will be doing them myself. Much appreciated!!

    Really well done...and super helpful. Love the 2-in-1 solution....not only cutting back the grass, but having it ready to compost/dispose of at the same time! Thanks very much!

    Great Video! I do have a concern with the compost statement. If you put the stalks with seed pods in compost, don't you run the risk of the grasses spreading? The seeds may have already dropped during the fall/winter but I was wondering if composting somehow makes the seeds inert? (my guess is this isn't a real problem, just me overthinking it).

    But what if you have to cut 60 of them in very fast speed? Wouldn’t put the rope around it just taking a lot of time?

    An electric hedge trimmer will do. You don't need a chain saw. That's a little over the top especially when you are considering your neighbours and noise pollution.

      In larger ornamental grasses like older, mature pampas, you may very well need a chain saw. With dense plants like pampas, the stalks are razor sharp and cutting in one or two lops of the chain saw is safer than smaller, numerous cuts with the hedge trimmer.
