[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sick and tired of idiots growing stupid crap like bamboo and english ivy. Stop killing our trees and other native species please.  Any home growing things like bamboo needs to be heavily fined out of existence until they take care of the problem. The stupid crap spreads like wildfire and kills tons of our natives every year. Same with ivy. Fine people that have this in their yards please.  We also recently went biking along Rock Creek Trail.  Really disturbing how much bamboo has spread along the trail because jerkwads can't control it from their yards or they dump bamboo remnants from their yards into the woods that ends up causing it to spread even more. Fine..fine. fine.[/quote]

I agree with you except I have a crap ton of bamboo in our backyard that was not disclosed by the sellers and had been cut to the ground so we didnt know it was on our side and it was also February.

Id love to have the extra funds (5-7k) and the compliance of my neighbor to facilitate this but I dont. In order to rid my backyard of the bamboo I would need permission from my neighbor to remove the chain-link fence and dig up their yard as well otherwise, its hopeless because it will just spread back to my yard. We keep it trimmed. We rip up roots if they show. We are going to try salt down the shoots this fall.
