Exactly. When my dear neighbor (or park managment) made me mow the grass in the hidden parts of my yard, I "mowed" with a mattock. Cut it REALLY short and threw it, roots and all, into the compost heap.
Now I have to decide what to sow there, between the bushes, to keep the weeds from discovering it. Sedum or creeping thyme, whichever it is that didn't all die already.
There is one really big Hosta, plus one very small one that is 85% holes from slugs. But I don't like Hostas, and it makes it hard to get a wheelbarrow or hose through there!
