How to trim grass quickly

Oooo 'eck Mark! mind you thats what happens in nature isnt it? hope it continues to grow nice and green :o)

Whoops! you sure thats right??? I have seen it and done it with Pampas but not little ones!!!!!!! Good luck, Mark.

ooooer ... my garden has a Pieris Forest Flame ..

.. but no plants like this ! ;o)

Hi Sewingkilla and grandmage yes i agree with you both i have seen it for larger scale plants but this is the first time i have tried it in a 18 inch squared pot.I will post pictures as it developes.I know it will be ok as i can now see new green coming through.:))))

Hi Terratoonie i am going to hope for the best but we will see:))))

Unbelievable Mark, did the pot crack?

Lol. I don't really have a GoYpedia category for this among mine ...
... I have "Rain and Flood Damage "...

... but I don't have "Fire Damage" Lol. ;o)))

My goodness, Mark....what with Hywel severely cutting back Beryl's camellia and you setting fire to your grass....I just don't know about you guys! lol

It's risky to do...but I was relieved when I actually saw your photo....I thought you were speaking of your lawn (grass)...and was wondering if you'd set the whole neighbourhood on fire! lol I was so relieved to find out it was a plant in a pot! Let us know how it goes...

What grass is this? I have several that colour, is it not supposed to be brown, It sure beats cutting it back with scissors lol..

oh wow! at first i thought you had set fire to your lawn!! perhaps that would do our lawn good?
it looks drastic but perhaps it is related to the phoenix?? is it desert plants that spread the seed in this way ~ after a fire???

OMG,Mark..you certainly don't do things by half,do you ?
Did you throw a burger and sausage on,while you were at it ? Lol..

oooo.. that does look a bit drastic,i thought you meant the lawn too..i hope its ok & grows back fine for you.

LOL that's one way of giving up on it :) Looked like a carex grass - they do go a bit scruffy looking - that was amusing lol - hope it grows back for you :)

OMG ! lol :D
I also hope it will grow back .....

Hi all yes it was very drastic action but much quicker than scissors.The pot did not crack surprisingly.I have got three more in my garden but they seem quite healthy as they are in soil at the back of the garden rather than in a pot.I am not sure if it is related to a phoenix stickitoffee.Thankyou all again for your comments lol.:))))

hope it works mark lol, my pampass is dead looking to so maybe i will try this method .

owwww errrrr...lol..... hope its ok.... : O ))

You should have done some burgers at the same time!
A friend of mine used to do this with his pampas grass but set fire to his garden and destroyed his caravan......
The pampas grass was alright though!!

whooops! GD ~ perhaps not something we should try at home then.

tell me about it i did not know it would burn so quick, pampas grass thats what they do to it as i have seen on tv, thats where i got it from lololol i was lucky not your friend that was bad hope everything was ok for them, st/toffee no please dont, :((

its ok ~ i havent got any pampas grass!!! also the lawn is mostly made of moss!!!

Hi everyone im afraid the plant didnt survive,but luckily enough i have got three more in the garden.So i have now planted another one in its place as for some reason the grass does like it in this pot.So the blog was wrong THIS IS NOT HOW TO TRIM GRASS.:)))))

Glad you have realised Mark!!!!!!! It was pretty drastic.

Well, at least nothing drastic happened......
A good pair of shear might be best next time.
