BAMBOO
Two types of bamboo, clumping and creeping.
I've got some creeping type in my side yard that I've been slowly getting rid of. Big pain in the butt. The creeping bamboo shoots a nice long straight creeping roots horizontally under the soil. New sprouts will popup from the top of these root and grow into new bamboo stalks. These stalks are pretty easy to pull out of the ground, but the problem is they snap off at the root. What you have to do is get a shovel and dig that creeping root out as well, otherwise they the stalks will just keep coming back. Root comes out pretty easy once you remove the soil.

BAMBOO
"bizzydawg" wrote in message news  HOW DO I GET RID OF BAMBO.... Do you mean "Damn-Boo"??? My lovely wife had the great idea of planting the stuff a few years ago (creeping). I suggested that there might be a reason why no body in our area had bamboo in their yard and maybe we should investigate further. My pleas were met with deaf ears and the bamboo was planted. Once it began to spread throughout the yard, I was vindicated. My reward was to find all of the runners and pull them out by hand alone. Round-up wouldn't touch the stuff, however there may be another chemical that would be effective - I was unable to get a straight answer on the issue at the time. Someone told me that if I continually mowed it down, it would eventually die. This may be the case, but I was not patient enough to see this through. IMHO, Damn-boo is a noxious weed! Good luck. |

Well one good way, is to let it grow to the prescribed length for fishing
poles and sell them, at a discount if you really want to get rid of them. Another is to learn how to make planters, picture frames, sun filter curtains, out of them and sell them at garage sales or flea markets. "bizzydawg" wrote in message news HOW DO I GET RID OF BAMBO.... |
