I haven't tried bamboo in this garden but after this I am tempted to do so to hide a couple of neighbors 'crap corners' (corners of their yard where they throw leftover kids toys, pots, garden decor, wood & lumber, bricks, fire pit waste, left over dirt etc.). Thanks John.

i like the timber bamboo. i have ben growing it for 10 years. i have a large patch of it that i keep cleared out enough that you can walk through like a small forest. so far they get about the size of your uper arm and as tall as 30 to 40 feet. bamboo is an amazing and beautiful plant. i hope one day to have my entire property , all 5 acres covered in timber bamboo with my house in the middle. i live in the deep south in the U.S.i live in the country surounded by forest with no other houses with in several miles. and while it will grow ok here it grows very slow from year to year. each year i get about 40 new shoots and thats all. still i would not take anything for my bamboo.

Hi, Chris... I live in the south also in a remote area but not as remote as you. Prior to living in Appalachia, I lived in Fort Lauderdale. I would go on walks through the neighborhood and there was one house that had a huge stand of bamboo of the sort you wrote about. The stalks were very huge in height and also in girth. What I found so thrilling was the sound of the stalks colliding in a wind. Such a very comforting sound... Nature's gift to our senses. Thank you for your post as it brought back such wonderful memories.

@MaekarManastorm6 жыл бұрын
MrUniman69 you may have planted it to deep in the soil. Bamboo plantings to best with a "mound planting " basicly a mound of dirt above the actual level ground. Nitrogen fertilizer is best.. I recommend organic Mushroom compost.

@johnlordssecretgarden3 жыл бұрын
Root barriers do work to a point, if installed properly. An entire clump can get congested if totally surrounded by a root barrier because there is nowhere for the new fresh shoots to go.
