Chipping bamboo at Bamboo Land, Australia

Chipping bamboo using a Bandit 250XP 12 inch disc chipper. This species is Bambusa oldhamii which is not a very good timber species - quite soft and starchy, so it has no real commercial value as timber poles in Australia. This row of bamboo was removed to expand our bamboo gardens with other better species of timber bamboo. After chipping the timber and foliage, all the root balls where transplanted to a new location. The chip (mulch) was then used to mulch the new plantings. Absolutely nothing gets wasted at Bamboo Land.

Bamboo is a perennial grass. This was the easiest removal effort I've ever seen. Without proper tools containing it can be a drudge. Supply and demand. Bamboo is the future to end clear cutting and deforestation.

[@bisayangboleroofficial7091]

Wow ....very amazing... watching from Philippines

[@ansonwongb28]

I'm from Malaysia and we used bamboo for the flooring of our chicken coop. The constant feet traffic polished it so well and it's already been 5 years with barely a replacement. Bamboo will last as long as any timber if exposure to moisture is kept to a minimum.

Thanks for the video. I grow bamboo in Panama and was thinking of investing in a small chipper to turn my tailings into mulch for paths and also the bamboo clumps themselves. I does put a lump in my throat when I see so many full size culms being shredded but I think you have a bigger picture in mind....good luck and thanks again.

Well While you aussies turn somebodies else bamboos into chips, we in Brazil grow your eucalyptus mainly for industrial firewood. Our territory lacks coal deposits, but you eucalyptus felt so welcome overhere it may produce 360 tons per hectare of dry firewood when harvested within six years. But bamboo could be a choice for fuel production as well.

I can't believe how upset people are in the comments. It's bamboo it's the fastest growing plant in the world, the chip is being used not wasted and Australia doesn't need to use bamboo for furniture or building materials because of its abundance of eucalyptus trees (which are the fastest growing tree in the world).

@@richnow1686 Clearly they know how to extract value from this weed variety. Bamboo land also operate a nursery which supplies high quality disease free plants such as gingers and many other permaculture varieties to customers all around the country. Turning an imported potential pest species into safe mulch and potting medium is value adding to a weed. Pulling the clump splitting and replanting has plenty benefits to anyone who actually grows things, including propagation for sale. If you have ever had to get rid of a clump of bamboo you would appreciate the efficiency of the method. Even better quality bamboo is of little value without a pool of cheap exploited labour. This is why China controls the market for bamboo ply products.

I've cut about 1000 feet of bamboo locally by hand this month and have plenty to make a few projects from. I pressure treat with some simple plumbing hardware and Timbor so the stuff will last decades. I found a better and faster way of flattening out the big stuff to make really nice looking panels for my fence and have a few matched legs with roots for some furniture.

[@DungNguyen-ru5kg]

Absolutly, it would be much stronger to make fence than cheap pine woods made from outter most layer of pine tree, the softest. These bamboos are much better, that is a waste to became mulch.

[@mikenewman4078]

@@DungNguyen-ru5kg To make low value furniture requires even lower value labour. Australian social security pays more than what a bamboo furniture worker makes. Any furniture made at local wages has to compete on price with products produced by slave labour. Growing bamboo for mulch is a high yield sustainable process. No valuable timber was harmed in this process and no valuable land was required to grow it.
