I have never been brave enough to plant bamboo because I have heard that it is rampant so very interested to see if the barrier works. Thanks Mark.

Thanks Pauline. I'm about to show another way of doing it. Watch out for my bamboo barrier hack shortly. Mark

Thank you for the great tips.

I love bamboos,the rustling noise they make in the wind is lovely. I have one in a large tall pot (purchased from Aldi) . It's a non invasive, clumping one (apparently} a fargesia. I tried to get it out of the pot last year to split it into 2 plants, but it's impossible to get it out of the pot now, it's grown so much its jammed in there. I reckon it will eventually split the pot 🤔

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Yes sounds like you might need to break the pot/container 🙁

[@Jazzyrosie3]

Lots of work for you,but came out awesome 😊

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Thanks rosemary. And did you see the 'rosemary' in the border next door? 😊

Hello! a visitor from Canada. Thanks for your video and that is so inspiring! A couple of questions:
1. How deep did you dip?
2. Did you apply the barrier to the bottom to prevent spreading? or you simply wrap around?
Thanks!

That’s going to look really nice once it grows out in the boarder and fills the voids between the shoots 👌🏼 I can’t wait to see how well the barrier works too, I’d love to plant my bamboo instead of keeping it in pots but the gardens not big enough to let it run.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Thanks Steve. I'm hoping for a dense rustling wind break. I'll feature it in future updates. Mark

[@jayelle7573]

is it ok to plant them so close together? ty for the informative video! would love an update in the future!

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi. Thank you. Yes i think so. I do want a dense hedge. I may have to take chunks out at a later date. But I can give those away or sell them. Mark

[@phillip3045]

Hey Mark, any further updates on this? We have a long line of bamboo that ive let grow out for the past 2 years. Some say to prune lower off shoots but i feel this looks bare... Any ideas?

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi. I'll do an update in a future video. It's working very well. I intend taking the leaves off the stalks eventually

[@moi.nishad]

Thanks Mark, been playing with idea of Bamboo hedge? Which garden centre did you get your bamboo plants from ?

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hello. Well the Interesting thing about these bamboo plants is that I got them from Morrisons supermarket. End of year reduction. They were only £5 each. I would definitely recommend some kind of barrier. These would have gone crazy without it. Mark

[@johnshirley3]

You should have a privacy hedge in no time!

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

It's really coming together now. Mark

[@michealduffy245]

Great video! Can you recommend a type of bamboo? 😊

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I could recommend any particularly. But if you're not already, just be aware, some are invasive, others aren't. I particularly like the black and the golden varieties. Mark

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Sorry. That sound have said "wouldn't recommend any in particular"

[@Ramspiker16]

Why didnt u remove the pots

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I did remove the pots 😊

[@Ramspiker16]

@@MarksHouseandGardenUKoh i see. Ok👍🏻

[@disgruntledvet28]

Can’t the roots just start growing under it since it can’t in off the sides ?

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I believe they won't grow down and under. The bamboo barrier is designed around that
