Duh - why didn't I think of tying them up?

Tied off before cutting

I was talking to my neighbor yesterday and mentioned that I planned to cut our tall ornamental grasses today. I complained about the mess it makes and he said "Why don't you tie them off in bunches before you cut?" Duh! Of course! I did that today - so much easier. there was still a little cleanup of short pieces but so much easier than usual!

They do end up as compost, but not here in our yard. The community takes them away.
