    You are 100% right about bamboo. (Of course you are, you know your onions.) My goddaughter in France and her husband were bedeviled by it. The previous owners planted it as a ground cover of all things. They called in their landscape contractor, who told them mulching is only a temporary solution. To effectively rid themselves of it, he said, they had to have it dug up by the roots, as you did in the video. I loved your update on the Fecon mulcher and the ASV. You’re always open and honest with us, which I greatly appreciate. One other thing, I liked you doing the pole saw duties and leaving Willie in the Bobcat. It’s too easy for a boss to make the employee do all the donkey work while he sits in relative comfort in the machine, so bless you for that. I think it’s just another reason why you inspire such loyalty with the Three Amigos.

    From someone in the bamboo field alot...
    Great job removing that patch....
    Two things...
    Where you move that bamboo WILL grow new bamboo especially if you feed it and tuck it in closer to water.
    the other...
    You need DIG DOWN 2-3 FEET on the border of yer neighbor(where it seems to have come from) and put in BAMBOO PLASTIC BARRIER or it will come back sooner than later.
    Looks great.

    Wild grapes are (I suspect) a close second to bamboo as far as being a royal PITA to either get rid of or even to control. My backyard is infested with grapevines from the previous owner so I probably need to get the entire topsoil stripped and replaced.

      Tordon RTU , stump killer. A liquid herbicide applied by droplets directly to the cut stalks. Specifically designed for plants with heavy woody stems. Prevents regrowth and kills the roots. Also works on bushes and small trees / saplings. Used correctly will not harm adjacent plants, Not a spray. Apply directly to the stump. Once the plant has died you can cut the stump flush to the soil and the roots will rot in place straight away.

    Japanese knotweed grows from rhyzomes which means every single piece of mulch they just made can turn into a brand new plant. We deal with it on our farm. You have to pull it with an excavator truck it out and either burn it or dispose of it at an approved drop off place. Read about Japanese knotweed and how invasive it is. Not making this stuff up.

  • @ChakatNightspark
    @ChakatNightspark Před rokem +1

    I would rather keep the Bamboo. But, there is different Types of Bamboo.
    Runner Bamboo which will spread out and if not managed and controlled can get away from people and spread alot( Runner Bamboo is better for when dont have Neighbors around and Big lot and really Do not mind letting it grow as is.
    Then there is Clumper Bamboo. a mature grove of clumping bamboo will be at least 3 or 4 feet in diameter, and could grow to 15 or 20 feet wide. Some varieties of clumping bamboo grow faster and spread larger than others. Clumper Bamboo is easier to Maintain and Easier to Control when you do have Neighbors around and a smaller Lot.

    • @reprintranch
      @reprintranch Před rokem +4

      Amen, brother.
      Folks, don't let anyone tell you that clumping bamboo is "safe" to plant because it won't spread. It sure as heck will spread, it's just a slower and more predictable process than you get with runner bamboo.
      My wife and I bought a nice little house 20 years ago and in the back yard was a patch of 50-foot tall clumping bamboo that was put in by a previous owner many years before (probably the species _Bambusa oldhamii_ though I'm not sure.) Most of the stalks were between 2.5 and 3 inches in diameter at the base. The whole patch ran along a fence and was maybe 20 feet long and 6 or 8 feet wide when we moved in.
      It looked nice, provided a windbreak and the birds liked it. But year after year, new shoots came up around the edge of the patch and when I cut them the patch responded by sending up new shoots a little further out. This process went on and on, and eventually the shoots were coming up within a few feet of our house. Meanwhile, our next door neighbor was getting tired of the bamboo in her yard, which was part of the same patch and had grown under her fence.
      In early 2020 the neighbor and I agreed it was time to get rid of the patch. The neighbor hired professionals, I was not able to make the investment so I did the job myself, by hand.
      I was out of work in 2020 so I spent several hours a day cutting down the stalks, then sawing them into shorter sections and trimming off the secondary branches and chopping _those_ to regulation size so that the yard-trash collection people would take them. That process took most of the year. Used a pruning saw, loppers and pruning shears.
      Then in early 2021 I started the more difficult part -- digging and cutting out the stumps and root systems. Used a reciprocating saw and a trenching shovel. Shortly after that I got a new job, which of course reduced the time I had available for bamboo removal, but I kept at it and finally, FINALLY finished the entire project about a week ago. (The neighbor was very patient with me and timed things so that she started and finished her removal project at about the same time I did.)
      Altogether I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours to eliminate one modest-size back yard bamboo patch and clear the soil so that we could put in a vegetable garden. Also spent hundreds of dollars on a reciprocating saw, blades, trash bags, Gatorade, tipping fees when I brought debris to the landfill, and fill dirt to level out the depression in the yard where the patch was. The saving grace is, clumping bamboo can't regenerate from small root fragments -- the only vestige left in the ground at this point -- so I'm confident the patch won't be growing back.
      My advice to anyone who's even considering bamboo as a landscape plant -- not just no, but HELL NO.
