The taller bits tended to be weeds with thicker stems that didn't mow
well. For those I had a hand operated weed whacker that I swung like

Yes, they were certainly weeds. Most of them were the ones that look
like miniture cat-tails that we would pick as kids, twist the stem
around itself, and then pull it tight to "fire" the seed head off of
the stem. Unlike a real cat-tail, the seed head was not soft.

I'm having trouble visualising that. Can you post a link to a picture or to
a Wiki entry?
