Bamboo gone wild!

20 years ago

Hello - I love bamboo and have a lot of it at my new home. Some of it is growing all around a few of my plants and I would like to stop its growth. How can I get rid of it? Do I need to just try and dig it up or is there something else I can do? Thanks

Sounds like you inherited a ticking time bomb. You've probably got running bamboo which can really only be contained by surrounding it with a special underground barrier. Cutting it down as it pops up is a losing battle, your best best is to bite the bullet is to dig it up now.
