As an experiment, find a line near the bamboo that you don't want the bamboo to cross, then run a trowel or cultivator down that line, getting 4" deep if possible. Chances are you'll find plenty of the bamboo rhizomes. The rhizomes often spread much further than the shoots indicate.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-6342351183974103452011-03-12T08:46:54.345-06:002011-03-12T08:46:54.345-06:00I have a couple of small bamboo plants that are ha...I have a couple of small bamboo plants that are hardy to my zone 5 that have yet to grow but maybe this year they will spread a bit..they are dwarf...love the foliage..what an instant lush forest of bamboo...Donnahttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-45376845785608329342011-03-11T17:20:38.671-06:002011-03-11T17:20:38.671-06:00I don't know which will go into the ground.

I don't have unlimited space, but I may be removing a couple of species this year if they don't size up, and that will make space for a few of these.<br /><br />Pruning Montauk daisies always smelled like tar to me. I can't remember if that's the reason I got rid of them.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-5496945091556754702011-03-11T17:05:18.176-06:002011-03-11T17:05:18.176-06:00Been looking at some of your posts.

These leaves will eventually just go in my compost pile. <br /><br />http://www.bambooweb.info/images/bamboo/257/dsc03952.jpgSteve Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398643598426170132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-26146097652627106232011-03-11T09:47:15.248-06:002011-03-11T09:47:15.248-06:00Yeah!!!
