I bought a foreclosure a few months back I've been slowly restoring it. The house is coming along nicely, but I have to admit that I've hit a huge challenge in the backyard that I'm looking to take on by myself with a few friends. I wanted to see if anyone has ever dealt with bamboo before.
This is a fraction of the work I have. The foreclosure came with a second parcel of land that's almost entirely covered in bamboo twice my height. I'm looking to clear it all and then expand the backyard. From what I know, bamboo is resilient, and it'll keep sprouting up out of the ground if the underground network isn't also gutted. I'm prepared to do the work, but before I begin, I wanted to see if anyone had a similar horror story with bamboo they'd like to share and how they handled it. Pesticides? Rototiller? Call a professional?
I just need some advice and maybe someone will come up with an efficient way to get this jungle under control.
