Bamboo, need to get rid of it.?

I asked a while back about transplanting bamboo from my fence row to my front yard. I looked it up on the net and I thought it was the "good" bamboo, the kind that doesn't spread all over the yard. Well, guess what???? Its not, its the bad kind. Its still in the fence row but this time I want it gone. How do I get rid of it, and make sure it will not come back? Anyone?

Bamboo, need to get rid of it.?
You have a SERIOUS problem, and nothing short of digging up EVERY root will stop it/get rid of it. I tried for 15 years and the best I accomplished was controlling it. If you have a small area, then I strongly suggest you start digging, otherwise the best you can hope for is to keep it in check and learn to co-habitate.
Reply:Keep cutting it back with a weed whacker, lawn mower or loppers what ever you have available. Cut it when it gets more then 6" tall. Roundup and black plastic or newspaper will eventually kill it. Just keep cutting it all year long. We had it all along the side our drive way and the weed whacking continuously stopped the growth. it took 2 springs and summers to do it though.

Reply:Only one way to deal with bamboo, ROUNDUP, ROUNDUP, ROUNDUP and lots of it.





Follow this procedure, cut it back to the roots, dig them out, apply ROUNDUP liberally. Apply weed stop over the area and if you see anything growing, apply more ROUNDUP.





Good luck.
