I trim them like a hedge, to about waist height. I have stopped wasting good space on them, and they have to compete (successfully) with nettles and couch grass, and make that area look a bit more organised.

earlier in this thread someone mentioned Asafoetida as the anti-flatulence ingredient. I got some on the strength of the comment and tried it in one of my home-made curries - it works! ;)

Yes this discovery could have tremendous impact ... :D
