We have a large clump of bamboo - very tall and not a fancy variety.
When we moved in, we could see it had a concrete surround beneath the
soil which was restricting the roots. However, it has now gone
rampant and clumps/shoots, are popping up in various places well
outside of this, including the lawn. What can we do to regain
control ? Any advice on weed killer or natural remedy. Any advice
on uses of the bamboo, apart from runner bean poles. It would be sad
not to make some use of this overabundant resource. Are there any
country crafts people who can offer suggestions ? I assume it has to
be thoroughly dried out before use ? Apart from putting a bomb under
it, I don't know what to do.
Please, please advise.

Stir fry the shoots? Much more environmentally friendly to eat it than to
poison it! ;o)
