Treating bamboo helps with the bugs eating it, but to keep it lasting long it needs to be off the ground on a good foundation and covered from the elements. Rain will make it rot, sun will degrade the outer skin layer. You need to manage all of those things to have long lasting bamboo. The bucket method is not the most reliable.

Why not set up an "intravenous drip" to drip-feed a preservative solution into the living bamboo, before harvest? I plan to do this on a very large culm that is just reaching the yellowing stage (it is now midsummer). The preservative (copper sulphate, perhaps with borax?) goes in a 10L water carrier with a tap fitting for 1/2" garden hose. I will drill a hole in the culm for a hard plastic fitting that matches the hose, but stiff and sharp enough for a tight push fit in the culm. Then fiddle with the height difference, to get some pressure but without leaking preservative.
