Will aerating get rid of bamboo?
It's hard to get rid of bamboo(unless you are trying to get it to grow) You'll have to get rid of all the plant roots and all they propagate by under ground rizones !
Reply:Aerating will not kill it. Digging , or easier, Roundup, will. The rhizomes are not deep, 6 to 12 inchs depending on species and maturity.



Next time plant a clumping bamboo. It is NOT invasive and will stay in a small area. People assume ALL bamboo is invasive and the truth is there are several cold tolerant species (Fargesia) and hundreds of semitropical clumping bamboo that are fantastic to grow and very well behaved
Reply:Aerating will only make it worse. My experience has been to burn it out. Contact a landscape company for other suggestions.
Reply:No, the only way to get rid of bamboo is to dig it up and keep digging every time you see a new shoot.
