Could anyone please give some practical advice or crafty tips on getting
rid of a lot of tall invasive Bamboo plants (and runners that push up new
shoots from the lawn) from a small suburban garden?

I was thinking of some scaffolding pole cut flat at one end and being used
as a long lever resting on a block of wood. Would appreciate advice from
someone with practical experience of removing Bamboo. Thanks

A near neighbour of mine was also getting shot of bamboo. He offered me some
and I duly went and took some 'cuttings'. Seemingly took forever to get
small clumps. Perhaps if you offered it to other gardeners they'd reduce it.
