Bamboo is starting to take off here in southern Ontario, Canada. I'm looking forward to planting some myself this spring 8)

I have a bit of bamboo in my backyard and I am in Toronto. I have sprayed it with round-up, poured gas on it and even dug it up.... It keeps on growing!

Ya, bamboo is a lot like Zebra Grass, goes dormant in the winter and will live through a lot of adversity. Also makes a great hardwood harvest for decorative purposes or more functional things such as a Tiki bar....... :P

What species are you planting in the cold climates? I am in Colorado and the winters can get cold and with a bit of snow. The stuff needs to be hardy and easily grown.
Would prefer clumping rather than running bamboo as I will use it as a wind and visual screen and don't want my neighbors to be all over me for it ending up in their yards.

Thanks,

One of my neighbors owns the Stihl dealership so I shot this for him to hang on his shop wall.
What is mounted beside your Jerry can?
Air compressor?

Yes, a 24 volt compressor from a military Hummer. I don't have an air storage tank but it works very well without it. There's a splash/mud shield around the compressor. Under the jerry can is a large ammo can mounted on its side and it holds the air hose and other goodies.
