Step 1. Allow the pampas grass to discolor over the winter months. The natural death of the leaves provides some texture in fall and winter landscape. To limit tipping of the heavy blades, tie twine around the entire plant at 6-inch intervals to keep the grass clump upright.
Rising damp is the common term for the slow upward movement of water in the lower sections of walls and other ground-supported structures by capillary action. Although rising damp of up to 5 metres in height has been observed the height of rise is typically much lower and is rarely above 1.5m.Rising damp has been a widely observed phenomenon for at least two hundred years.lthough rising damp of up to 5 metres in height has been observed the height of rise is typically much lower and is rarely above 1.5m.

When considering an adiabatic process a rising parcel of air always cools. If it is unsaturated it cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate (10 C/km). If it is saturated it cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate minus the amount of heat added due to latent heat release of condensation. If the latent heat release is small, such as in cold air, then the wet adiabatic lapse rate will be close to the dry adiabatic lapse rate (i.e. 8 C/km).
