Default Hello fellow bamboo lovers! I have a question about my bamboo patch

At the moment I was wondering if by any chance someone there who knows
all about bamboo problems could take a quick peek at my patch and tell
me if you see any problems I may need to address before it's too late.
My late grandmother planted this patch back in the 1940's and it has
grown wonderfully ever since.


Last fall I was laid off from my job so I started making and selling
bamboo didgeridoo's ('Didgeridoo's by RiverMan by scarumtrading on Etsy'
(http://www.etsy.com/shop/scarumtrading))


This is my family's only source of income right now so the health of
this patch is extremely important. I have been cutting these poles
like crazy thinking there is no way I could hurt the patch but I think
I may have caused some problems. This spring when the new bamboo came
up a lot of the new shoots died after growing about a foot or two.


Here are photo's of my patch... can you please tell me what you think
of the overall appearance and take a guess at the health of these?

Here is a 60 second video walkthrough of the patch:

Any tips, suggestions or help is GREATLY appreciated.


Thank you
