Default [IBC] Bamboo Propagation/Air Layering

I read some where that invasive bamboo should have a 3' deep
barrier to contain it from spreading to undesirable locations.

==========

For most bamboo, and all larger species, 3" is much to shallow.
Twelve inches is recommended, and the runners can go deeper than
that if the soil is moist.
