Runners, I believe is the term you're looking for, and true, clumping
bamboo is not a problem around liner ponds.

Yes, you are right....maybe I should make my sig "I've forgotten more
about gardening than I ever knew".....lol


You might want to dig around one of the edges of the bamboo just to make
sure, but I don't think they put out a spiked runner. ~ jan

I guess after 5 years in situ if they were going to do this the whole
part of this garden would be over run with bamboo....but I truly want
this project to be a success....hence all the questions....and plenty
more to come ;-)

So, to get back to the question - do you think sand, a fabric liner
(pond safe) and a heavy duty pond butyl liner is good enough?
