update time!
almost there. being totally OCD helped. big time. daily field grid searches and prompt work with a shovel and digging bar is kicking some ass. i am now on my third shovel..there is a limit to a wooden shovel handle.
..anyways, the digging bar is saving the shovel, and i even bent the bar on one big rootball.
my shoulders are spent. i am in physical therapy to fix it, but the damn bamboo's days are numbered. here is the last chunk i found..i'll know more when it warms up in the spring. i expect more, but i'm digging it up.
i stand by my thoughts..anyone that plants the stuff is not thinking straight..even clumping bamboo will explode. that stuff BAZ showed, if you look carefully, the circumference of the shoots damn near doubled in the two years. no inexpensive root barrier insurance was not a good idea, in my opinion. it might be 12-15 years from now, but someone will be cursing. i hate the chit..i might get a tattoo on my arm to commemorate the battle royale i had. i did notice as the rhizomes exhaust energy storage, the shoots that pop up are tiny!!
