Name: josephine Arlington, Texas (Zone 8a) Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.
Very good and quick job, I wish I was that energetic.
I like the idea of leaving the roots in the soil, they enrich it as they decompose, and a good mulch should take care of the new growth.
I usually cut them at ground level with trimmers.
