Yep, absolutely right. And because it involves the use of power tools, Mr. Boomer likes to help with that part.
For the here and there deadheading with hand shears, it is my beloved Felco 2's. But you only have to do that part if you want to.
Two things to remember: Don't plant them too close together because they grow so fast. And don't forget that they have thorns. I wear leather gloves when I mess with them because they will mess with you back.
