Title: Re: [gwl-g] moving miscanthus
Nan,
Dividing grasses is a topic my daylily group is
discussing right now. Several people have written that they use a chainsaw to
divide grass. They tie rope or duct tape around the foliage, remove the foliage
at ground level and then cut the base into pieces, all with a
chainsaw.
Other's have written their horror stories about
chainsaws (a tool you won't catch me using in my garden). They recommend a
sawsall (reciprocating saw) to cut the clump and then lift out different
pieces.
I'm not laughing, really :-) Been there
and done that, once I tried to divide a Rudbeckia "Herbstsonne" and as my entire
body was balanced along the handle of the pitchfork I kept saying "there's got
to be a better way". That's when I got out an ax and cut the clump into pieces
before trying to lift them out of the ground.
Good luck! And, let us know how you finally got it
out of the ground.
Melanie Vassallo
