[quote=Anonymous]Urghhhh.  We had a little bamboo when we moved in and thought, well it isn't so bad and it adds some privacy.  Two years later it had taken over the yard.  Of course part of the issue is even of you are working to get rid of your bamboo, the neighbors bordering you have to be willing to do the same.

We paid someone to pull out everything and I think we sprayed something. That was several hundreds of dollars and we lucked out the neighbor to one side was having yard work done and their person was getting rid of the little bamboo bordering our fence on their side. We also needed to do something with the landscaping in that area and not leave it barren.  That was a lot more than a few hundred dollars.  We did not do the trenching that was recommended by one person, that would have been close to a thousand extra when we were getting rid of the bamboo forest.  Now DH still has to check for shoots on the edge of our yard and he sprays them. One neighbor willingly has bamboo as part of the back yard landscape so I doubt we will ever be completely bamboo free.

The bottom line is you can get rid of it initially but you have to maintain your bamboo free environment especially if it already spread to your neighbors or originated from your neighbor.  Not that it is heavy maintenance, it is just another thing on the list.[/quote]
