How do you trim an emersed carpet?

Does anyone have a riparium/terrarium/vivarium with carpet plants like DHG or HC growing emersed? If so, how do you trim the carpet? You can't just net out the trimmings like with a submersed tank. Thanks!

id imagine a leaf blower scaled down to the size you need. maybe a camera lense blower?

Ah so like blow all the trimmings into a corner and then pinch them out or something? Pretty good idea. Thanks.
or flood it, trim, scoop trimmings out, drain out water? depending on how your set up is like.

Bump: use compress can air to blow it out?
