[quote=Anonymous]If it was the perfect house, yes I would. We had a 40+ year stand of bamboo across the back fence of our property when we bought it. I'm guessing it was 12-50 feet deep and some of the stems were 30 feet tall when we cut them down. About 10 years ago we chopped it all down and took a chemical warfare approach. We sprayed Round Up down every stalk that we cut. Every year we need to go out and kill the new shoots that come up. The neighboring property still has their bamboo so unless we invest a ton of money we will always have the issue. We have ivy and vinca growing in that part of the yard. If we wanted grass it would have been a much bigger job. One thing to note, if the bamboo stand is really old, all the soil will be completely depleted. It was basically sand. It took years of allowing leaves to compost over the winter to get it back. [/quote]
