Q&A – How do I get rid of a quarter acre of bamboo?
Question:
How do I get rid of a quarter acre of bamboo?
Answer:
This will be a hard task. It will take a lot of work. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says you need to try to eliminate as much of the root mass as possible because of all the energy it stores. He also says if you mow often, you may be able to deplete the energy reserves in the roots causing the plants to die. Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture Natalie Bumgarner says there may be some herbicide option to help speed the process.
