All bamboo is edible there is a % of strychine in all shoots Ph dulcis
has the least.

there are only 2 ways to remove bamboo nothing but agent orange will kill it

mechanical or drown it

I was thinking of one of those tiny 2.5-feet-wide tractors with a
backhoe attachment. It's between the garage and the neighbor's new
fence, with our OLD fence in the middle.

I fought a Chinese Elm volunteer growing right next to the sidewalk for
years -- ultimately hacking at it -- including 6" below ground level --
with an axe until I was tired. I gave up and pruned it into a bonsai.
Then the City came along and put the electric cables, phone, etc.
underground and in the process they ripped the thing from the earth. It
was nice of them to leave the mangled corpse there for me to see. Had I
had the energy I might have set it on fire and danced naked around it,
but I just threw it in the trash and laughed and laughed and laughed...

make sure you rent with a understandable damage policy
bamboo is tough seen it wear out many tools

a point to consider ESTABLISHED bamboo groves are the recommended
survival location for hurricanes and tropical storms

I'm surprised more primitive tribes don't worship it as a god -- it's
apparently immortal and provides a lot of useful stuff worthy of
thankfulness by the recipients.

Provided you can actually insert yourself between the canes.

There are several of these (thinned out, not like the solid blob near
the entrance) at the Huntington Library. Should we experience a
hurricane I'll keep that in mind.

You have a knife made out of bamboo? I want to get one for my
collection.


you really are senile

Humor is not part of your charm. In fact you obviously have no charm.


Couple of points
this is a skiing newsgroup

Really? Could have fooled me. So why do you spend most of your time talking about car racing and ****ing bamboo, idiot?

& you are just a freaking senile troll


Whatever Huggies is, senile is not one of his failings. Granted, he is a pathological liar, dickless coward, and psychopathic fraud, but he is not senile. However, I wonder about you.

I think your only interest in skiing is hitting the bar after you ski,
but since you have never commented on your skiing my assumption is you
just start off with a beer for mouthwash in the morning and just
continue to consume alcohol for the rest of day til you pass out.

Damn. On the theory that if you set enough monkeys to work on a keyboard, eventually they will write Shakespeare, I must confess I agree.


Tomorrow is fathers day for all the fathers have a good one, for several
of those that do not have children that is a good thing society is
messed up and based on your previous contributions it is doubt full you
would produce anything constructive.

What is really scary is that a deranged dumb**** like you is a father.

Had you wanted to make your neighbors gouge out their eyes and spend the rest of their lives so traumatized they could never speak again, you would have danced naked in the street.

Some do

but keep in mind it was the first & only plant to recover in the primary
blast area after the atomic bomb was dropped
It created a new species a variegated black bamboo

Provided you can actually insert yourself between the canes.

If you get into the tall stuff they really space more my Ph vivax which
hits fifty feet shoots about ten feet from each other.

I would find a tropical storm enough motivation to get to the center of
a grove. There is one grove on Maui that stretches for miles
