... I have the same problem, i.e. bamboo with a mind of its own. Some tips, all using a product known as Roundup 1-As the shoots come up, break them off, drill a hole down the center to the root and then spray roundup in there - it tends to liquiefy the root, destroying it 2-Get a sprayer and spray roundup on the bamboo trees - it does stun them and often kills them. Note: all those shoots come from one bamboo so you must go afte the whole bunch of them...If you break a root, it is stil alive and both 1/2s will still grow.... Use roundup literally or do what my friend is doing, i.e. hiring a backhoe to dig out his entire yard. Using a backhoe is overkill, but it would give the neighbor's something to laugh about.... Just keep knocking over/cutting each shoot as it comes up. The plant/grove will eventually run out of energy & die. The rhizomes will then rot in the ground. -- SamMan Rip it to reply |
