Message: [QUOTE="taherrmann4, post: 100115, member: 3043"] You can plant regular bamboo and keep it from spreading if you take some basic precautions.. Put a 2' diameter plastic pot in the ground and only bury it up to the last 2" this will keep the rhizomes from jumping over the pot and into the free land where it will spread like crazy. This acts like a fence, but you have to be careful when you mulch that you don't cover this "fence". Also take several layers of a good weed fabric and put it in the hole before the pot this will keep it from growing out the holes in the bottom of the pot. Even with this method you still have to keep your eye on it and if you see any travelers you have to take action right away. I had ice on one of my creeks and it starting an ice damn so I shut mine down last week. [/QUOTE]
