I don't have any bamboo, but I've always loved it. I understand that the
best way to keep bamboo in one spot is to plant it in a drum, with the
bottom cut out. It makes for a massive hole, but it can't send out runners
that way, and (more or less) behaves itself. Maybe there's someone on the
board that has first-hand experience with the stuff?

I think it also depends on the variety of bamboo. Not all types are so
invasive. Check out rec.gardens.bamboo, there's plenty of experience over
there.
