[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our current house had a 12 foot deep forest of bamboo all across the property line when we bought the house.  The tallest stalks were 35 feet tall.  We removed all of it ourselves, which was a huge undertaking and then performed chemical warfare by dousing it with Round up.  It has pretty much has been conquered in most of the property.  The one neighboring property has bamboo along the fence and that is where we see the biggest issue.  We go out a few times in the spring and spray it down with weed killer let it sit for a few days and then chop it down.

One issue we had to deal with is that it had been there so long that it completely depleted all of the nutrients in the soil.  It took a lot of leaf mulch and years to get the soil healthy again.

If you decide to take it on, this tool from Black and Decker was great.
