HOW DO I GET RID OF BAMBO....

Do you mean "Damn-Boo"???
My lovely wife had the great idea of planting the stuff a few years ago
(creeping). I suggested that there might be a reason why no body in our
area had bamboo in their yard and maybe we should investigate further. My
pleas were met with deaf ears and the bamboo was planted. Once it began to
spread throughout the yard, I was vindicated. My reward was to find all of
the runners and pull them out by hand alone. Round-up wouldn't touch the
stuff, however there may be another chemical that would be effective - I was
unable to get a straight answer on the issue at the time.
Someone told me that if I continually mowed it down, it would eventually
die. This may be the case, but I was not patient enough to see this
through.
IMHO, Damn-boo is a noxious weed!
Good luck.
