Response to BAMBOO

James, bamboo obviously has many uses, but I would urge you to be VERY careful where you plant it. Even here in Maine the stuff is close to impossible to kill. My neighbor has a patch near his house that he has been trying to control for, literally, more than ten years now. Black plastic didn't work, digging didn't work (just spread it more), fifteen inches of wet oak leaves didn't work. He finally resorted to herbicides and the stuff is coming back even after that. He has finally built access to the site for his lawn mower, and he's going to try mowing it weekly for the next two years to see if he can kill it that way.
