We bought a camp on a small river in eastern Indiana. The bank
recently underwent a lot of erosion. Its eight foot walls are
literally vertical at the top. Obviously it is too late to do much
about this, but I was thinking that bamboo might work well to try to
mitigate more erosion. We will be fishing off the bank so the bamboo
should not be too tall. I understand that when you cut bamboo, it
stops growing. We could let it start and just trim anything that got
in our way. The bank faces the south and gets a lot of light. The
soil is very sandy and appears rich.

Any thoughts?

It's declared a noxious weed in many places - for good reason.
