The place where I want to cover is a fence facing a road. I don't have

invasive doesn't matter :-) I've done a little homework about bamboo.

Do you want 2 acres of bamboo forest? Thick enough so that you can't
walk through your property at all?

And know about planting it in a trench that been lined with plastic
and filled with dirt.

To contain bamboo you need a trench at least 2 feet deep, lined with
very thick plastic, you have to buy it from a specialty source. Even
then it's no guarantee, it can and will jump the barrier and spread.
