Jim Dandy:Certainly can get a big enough container , I've used a plastic rubbish bin put some compost in the bottom , put a couple of seed spuds in and as the tops grow keep filling up with compost, just leave a bit of green showing all the time and make sure you put in enough holes for excess water to drain off. 9.

Then in the summer it went wild and sent out two branches which are over one meter long. Now it is shedding its leaves I'm wondering if I should cut it back. Any thought anybody? 20.

Aprilo 2007, 05:18:29 Temo: Re: Bamboo ☼ajtgirl☼:I'm not sure on the chemicals in it but it, causes the roots to rot. We cleared the area and i think replanted a couple of months later.

Aprilo 2007, 02:48:06 Temo: Re: Bamboo ☼ajtgirl☼: We had a problem with bamboo and were able to get rid of it using a product called woody weed killer.

Marto 2007, 08:11:00 Temo: Re: BerniceC: I couldn't believe I was reading that somebody was selling oxalis. It certainly is a noxious weed in NZ I've got 3 types growing in my gardens & lawn.
