If you keep the top growth down the rhizomes (what you call roots)

But I am not sure if I will get rid of ALL the bamboo, or just some of
it.

If I get rid of some (so its more "control" and not running wild) will
the rhizomes die?

Here's what I mean: l = stalk .... = rhizomes
l...l......l...

Theres 3 stalks, and the rhizomes is still running after stalk #3 (it
will sprout new stalks in time)
If I cut down stalk #2 and #3, and apply roundoff, will it kill the
rhizomes that are between #2 and #3 and the ones after #3?

I am not getting rid of ALL the top growth (since #1 is still there)

What kind of bamboo are you trying to get rid of?

I am not sure, its probably common bamboo (cheap kind).
I live in NY.
Could you email me, I will send you a picture and you can id it for me


Thanks
