👍Great idea!

[@rickstid-bits]

Hi Mary. We just did ours again last month. It really saves a tremendous amount of time having no clean-up to do. Rick

Using small bungee cords to tie them first makes it much easier and safer to cut.

Clever trick for cutting back. Thanks for sharing. I’m always tickled how different parts of the country pronounce plants differently or have different names for the same plant. Where I’m from, that plant is pronounced with four syllables: Lore-rye-a-pee.

Lie-rope-ee

In college, I worked for a landscape company and plant nursery. We did something similar. We used a 2' thick velcro strap to gather all the blades before cutting them. It is a 2 person job if you try to eliminate getting the cuttings on the ground.

Cool idea

[@guaraches2]

Lmao this remind me of my wife and me we literally trimmed Monkey and ornamental grass this weekend, wish I would have seen this video earlier

[@helloworld-bp8fu]

I just go over it with the lawn mower in vacuum mode to collect everything into the clipper bag works great

[@rickstid-bits]

Hello Hello. I agree. I used to do that when I had mulch. But after I changed it to rocks - I hit and threw a few too many rocks and had to come up with something different.

Great idea however Why not pull the drawstring tight and hold the bag higher so you don’t have to make a trip to the ER.

[@rickstid-bits]

Hi Duke. I intended to do it that way, and I tried doing it that way. But, the bulk of the plant is in the middle and when I started to close up the bag with it held even a little higher up - the bag continued to creep upward and upward - to the point that leaf blades would be coming out of the bag. I know it doesn't necessarily look too safe. But I went very slow, always watching where her fingers and toes were. She's been with me for 44 years - and I wouldn't want her to lose a finger now. 🙂

WOW thanks I have a long 20 ft mound of these in my backyard all in a row (no spaces in between). I hate it but this is a great solution before I dig it up. Thank you! PS I was scared for your wife’s lil feet:)

[@rickstid-bits]

Hi Valerie. You're welcome. Let me know how it goes. Yeah. . . that was the closest I got to her foot. I stayed a lot farther away with all the other ones. Plus, that trimmer has big, blunt ends on the sides. I knew the cutting blades couldn't get to her anyway. Thanks for leaving me a comment. Rick

[@BettieWiseman]

Hi Randi! Thanks for the info...amazing idea!!!

[@richardportelli1983]

lawnmower with the bag on also works.

[@lizc.8318]

Thank you ❤

Since you are cutting it so low, does it grow back full??

[@rickstid-bits]

Hello. Yes. We cut ours back that hard every Spring. New growth will appear very soon, and each plant will look fresh, healthy, and full soon. Cutting them back removes all the pale, yellowing leaves, and any diseased leaves. Those leaves will die soon if you don't remove them and lie on your ground. Cutting it back forces the all the plant's energy into growing new leaves.

[@rickstid-bits]

Hello. Here is a new video that shows just how much it has grown in just under 30 days. It will grow even faster now that warmer weather is here. Rick kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHmylIichMuaipY

[@stevendavid7483]

The terra rock is a good option man but the only problem for me is when you want to put flowers or small shrubs down, anything like that, now you're restricted

[@jkker05]

So basically cut everything.

[@kellidh9887]

That's not how you pronounce it lol
