  3. I'm intersted in Pampas grass in particular……..Is it invasive?? can I plant clumps 18 inches apart and form a privacy/ wind brake without taking over the whole yard ??

  4. I have no idea why so many instructional videos professionally made have the distracting music. What I heard over the music was good.

  5. Don’t use non-native grasses they escape cultivation and get into local ecosystems displacing native plant communities and become invasive.
