Does anyone know of a foolproof method for removing bamboo from a
garden (without having to dig it up!)

g'day bruce,

you could try cutting it right back then painting neat
herbicide/glyphosate onto the new buds/shoots as they appear.

but generally digging out is the way to go.

nuke it?
Cut it low down with a saw and spray / brush on Knockdown or Roundup neat if
possible on the newly cut stumps. Cover the stumps with plastic / whatever
then the poison can do it's stuff without worrying about the rain diluting /
washing away the poison.
You will need to dig it up one day. Any suckers that emerge, - just spray
them.
Spamproof your email address too.
