Reply:Good luck. My mom tried everything from battery acid to non-selective green plant killer and never did get rid of the Bamboo. She tried to burn it out, dig it out and nothing worked. She finally sold the house with the bamboo still there.
Reply:i know you don't want to hear this, you have to dig up the roots for each one, then wait and see if any more start to sprout then dig them up. good luck
Reply:I don't know why everyone seems to think bamboo is such a monster. Although once you let it go you do have to dig it out which can be hard if there are a lot of rocks. The roots are all on the surface which is one of the reasons that it is so easy to control if you want to (and you should so you don't have to DIG them out !!!)



Bamboo is lazy though, it grows in the direction of the of the least resistance like many of us. There are two kinds, clump bamboo, which spreads slowly from the center out and, my favorite, the running bamboo which has underground stems.



Now, I got to admit, after a few years, the running bamboo has built up enough strength to move fast and if you are not paying attention, well, its time to strengthen those abs! On the other hand, if you keep it under control, it can make a swell natural fence...thats pretty, light looking, but seriously strong.



To control it is easy...it puts up shoots only ONCE a year! Knock it off. Yep. Every spring when you see these little knobs sticking up (bamboo shoots) knock em off with your shovel, whatever. Eat them, if you want. Got vegan or asian neighbors? Allow them the priviledge...



A) Ya gotta dig it --- one way or another.
