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.

Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide are warming the atmosphere. The increased temperature results in higher evaporation rates and a wetter atmosphere, which leads to a vicious cycle of further warming. (Photograph Â©2011 Patrick Wilken.
