city gardening (bamboo)

Posted by Susan SEcoastNJ8a on April 29, 2008, 16:47:05

I read with interest the bamboo article in today's Press of AC. We chiseled out a 4-INCH strip of concrete in between our house and the neighbor (only 8-feet apart) to grow a buffer of bamboo so we would see green when we looked out the window and -- it's working! We placed a plastic liner 14 inches down and only 4 inches wide and planted small bamboo plants we found by the side of the road. Many plants died, but the ones that lived keep sending up new shoots each year and soon we will have a full buffer.
