Re: 101 uses for bamboo
Having got rid of lots of bamboo last year, (I shredded the last remaining bits), we've decided in a moment of madness to attack another large clump that is getting out of hand.
So any new ideas of what to do with bamboo, since I still haven't found anyone with a pet panda...

Re: 101 uses for bamboo
Can you not pot the plants and sell locally?

Ooh yeah, that sounds very good: get rid and make some money!modernista wrote:Can you not pot the plants and sell locally?
Re: 101 uses for bamboo
It's impossible to dig up with a spade (we tried when a neighbour wanted some), needs a mattock to hack it out. The result is not something you could pot up and sell. The stuff I'm trying to get rid of now is also partly in a hedge, so even more difficult to dig out.
Plus this stuff is a complete and utter thug, and I couldn't have a clear conscience selling it on.
It's massive, 3m high, and spreads, which is the reason I'm trying to get rid of it.
Did I mention it's a thug.

Burn it? Dry it and use it for your bbq??
Re: 101 uses for bamboo
Burns lovely when dry but has to be chopped up, otherwise the enclosed sections explode quite loudly.
And when I say quite loudly, it's an understatement. sometimes I do it just for the effect.
