On fire? That sounds scary at best.
Which are the carex you consider fast growing enough to scalp?

The more vigorous (fast growing) Carex can be scalped with good
results. Setting them on fire might work as well.

I seem to be dealing with alot of barber shop plants these days....
Anyone comb their carex? I remember hearing somewhere that a
great way to get rid of dead carex leaves is to go through the
plant with a fine tooth comb. Does it work? Anything that works
better? As I recall, carex don't regenerate nicely after a
scalping.
