Growing Bamboo
Posted by easy eco blog
Wouldn’t it be interesting to have bamboo in your backyard? It is environmentally friendly, grows fast, and can make for a nice property line wall. You can also use it for other projects. I did some research that made me realize that it is more than most people can handle.
The problem is that bamboo spreads relentlessly, is almost indestructible, and its roots are like steel. People have to setup physical barriers like metal flashing to prevent its spread. I think I’ll stick to bamboo flooring..

Bamboo does not spread relentlessly if it is properly contained and maintained. Also, if one is fortunate enough to live where temps do not get below 25F then they can grow many of the tropical clumpers, which slowly grow outwards year after year. Runners on the other hand certainly can get out of control and become invasive, but again, using rhizome barrier and proper grove maintenance will keep the bamboo contained for life.
