We have a large well-established growth of Pampas grass in our garden. In the summer, it grows to in excess of 10ft high and spreads out in excess of a yard side to side and back to front.
As usual, I have cut it down almost to ground level, but there remains a lump of solid ground and roots. The garden itself is entirely clay soil which is poor draining.
My wife has decided that she would like an enclosed area of soil at this spot in which she can grow various vegetables and things, as the area is well served by direct sunlight.
I have been ordered to remove the pampas grass remains and would very much appreciate any advice as to how easy (or difficult) it is to dig everything out and how far down to dig.
