My garden is infested with bamboo. The stuff grows at an incredible rate,
as much as a foot a day. I've been spraying it with Roundup but that
isn't working. The leaves that have been sprayed turn brown but it's not
stopping new plants from springing up. Does anyone have any ideas? Can I
get agent orange anywhere?

A friend of ours got rid of a bad infestation by cutting the plants
near the ground and then putting Roundup down in them. I think he got
a syringe to inject the Roundup. May take a while but keep at it.

I would rototill to expose the roots, remove those, then cover the
area with black plastic and let them die of lack of water and sun and
too much heat. Of course, the other answer is to smother them in
kudzu....
