with a pair of hedge shears only I cut down one third of the plants to see what is beneath. The roots are far apart and the open soil allows for significant erosion. I hope that after my treatmemt with mulching and raddish and a huge serving of seeds to build a bird and bee friendly environment we wil see a dense soil cover. Great light this afternoon, almost autumnal!
PS lots of bottles, broken glass and plastic garbage benesth the dead plant cover
