You can enjoy bamboo and protect your property (and your neighbors')
by putting a bamboo barrier around the bed where you want it. You need
to dig a trench 2 feet deep and either fill it up with concrete or use
a heavy plastic liner.

My girlfriend had bamboo on the back of her lot, with roofing tin buried
2' deep as a barrier. The bamboo sent roots UNDER the tin. If you
really want to contain it, the container better have a bottom. Even
drainage holes would make me nervous.
