[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your neighbors have bamboo and you don't want it. Dig a 3 ft down trench all around the fence and put in several layers of thick aluminum foil. That will stop it from spreading to your yard. If you have bamboo and want to get rid of it, you can't just whack it, to have to dig it up etc. it'll take about 3 years of digging up everything that comes up to clear your yard for good. [/quote]

Aluminum foil? Not strong enough. Bamboo can grow through floor boards. Yes, dig down 3 feet, yes, put in a barrier, but that barrier has to be strong. We're debating between concrete and sheet metal, if our current efforts come to nothing. We've made great progress and there's no more bamboo growing in our yard but we're still battling culms.

Unfortunately, all the neighbors have to hate bamboo at the same time. Eradicating it is hard when a neighbor gets tired of fighting it and takes a year or two off.[/quote]

Our neighbor's bamboo (they didn't plant it--a previous neighbor did) is now growing under their fence into our yard. Do you think 3 ft down is deep enough? Also, it would seem that sheet metal would be more resistant? Concrete could eventually crumble? Thanks for your thoughts.[/quote]
