  • re: bamboo infestation

    There are different kinds of bamboo, including the runner kind that will spread rapidly and wildly, and can only be stopped by deep trenches and concrete barriers. But there are other kinds of bamboo, I think called clumping, that I have used in my backyard.

    about bamboo floors. They are beautiful, but very delicate and scratch rather easily. a big bummer. especially since they were advertised at lowes as hardwood and durable. not to mention their home installation service was a nightmare, but that's another story.
