You will come to regret the day you planted bamboo. Bamboo comes in two
varieties. Clumping, and running. Clumping tends to just make a dense area
of bamboo near where you planted it. Running on the otherhand will spread
everywhere.

You can't kill it either. The previous owners had it in the back yard, I've
been trying to remove it for a year now, I've tried round-up, uprooting it,
but there are thousands of root fragments that have spread across the yard.

Decide where you want your bamboo forest to be, then dig a trench at least 8
inches deep around the forest and fill it with concrete. Make sure the
concrete rises at least 2 inches above the surface of the soil.

Bamboo, kudzu and vinca are all my list of plants that should only be
planted in the yards of your mortal enemies.
