boucoup bamboo

The bamboo was planted 4 years ago. Over that time, the small quart tub plant has grown into a very nice visual screen along the property fence, and tall shoots are continually harvested. I havested a BUNCH this past weekend:



The 12+ foot tall shoots were trimmed down to 7 foot lengths, to use as trellis supports, with the thin top lengths to be crossties. Additional shoots were dried into half-loops, to support protective netting over the veggie beds. A nice DIY project, with homegrown raw materials!
