bamboo


Question
Any advice for eradicating bamboo?  We live in Northern Virginia and have an uncontrolled patch near our house.  We've cut it down to 4' (from about 30') and want a solution.  Some landscapers say regular Round-up use, one says he can dig it out with a Dingo, and a third says Round-up + install a DeepRoot Rhizome Barrier.  What really works?

Answer
Hello Jesse, the only really effective way of eradicating bamboo is to first dig up the root systems (to almost a yard deep)then either cover the area with black plastic nylon and weigh down with rocks or spray once a month with round up- its tough!

Good luck
