| rit from asks: | how do i root |
| Sue Jackett from Britain asks: | Someone suggested laying old carpet over where bamboo grows will eventually kill off the roots. Is this true, Could you also reccomend any easier way other than digging it up as we have tonns of the dtuff blocking a sea view. |
| Nelly from USA asks: | Is there any way to get rid of chinese bamboo besides digging up the root? any chemicals or remedy ? thank you |
| Green Zeus says : | Cut it to the ground and paint the stalks with a woody herbicide. Like poison ivy killer--and use full strength. It uptakes to the roots and kills the plant. You will have to make numerous applications but this technique works well when you are unable to just keep mowing the area. |
| steve from canada asks: | how do i propigate bamboo can i make cuttings and root them or must i cut up theb rizones |
| sam from usa asks: | what kind of poison works on bamboo? |
| Carlyn Acciavatti from USA asks: | I have bamboo inside the house,it is getting very yellow and some dead leaves. I give it only water as I was told to do. How do I get it healthy and keep it going. The only person who can`t grow bamboo! |
| Yourgarden Specialist Marian says : | Is it Bamboo or is it Lucky Bamboo? Leave are turning yellow because too much direct sunlight or too salty or heavily-flouridated tap water. Give it indirect sunlight and use Spring water or distilled or purified water instead. Don`t let it stand in tap water. |
| Brad from USA asks: | How to get rid of bamboo in your yard. |
| Yourgarden specialist Marian says : | If you want to remove bamboo successfully, stabbing a shovel around the base of the plant. Gently lift the shovel and remove as much of the plant as possible. Then inspect the soil to a depth of about a foot, and remove any roots that remain. If you leave behind even the tiniest bit of root or rhizome, you'll have more bamboo. So it's very difficult. |
