Anyone know how to get rid of bamboo that is slowly spreading its roots
across the garden please?
They are so thick and matted that digging them up is nearly impossible.
I need something that can be put on the main patch but will also kill all
the far-reaching roots.

You might try spraying glyphosate (Roundup and others) on all the
green parts. But having fought a battle against bamboo some years
ago, I know that you will have to apply it quite a few times at
fortnightly intervals when it is in full growth.

Couldnt you use a sharp half moon edging tool to cut out the ones you
dont want, then bury a plastic barrier in the soil around the bits you
want to keep. that will stop it spreading again.

I'll have the bits you dont want as i would love to try some bamboo.
