Just be sure it is a clumping variety


I'm going to have to figure out how to use the bamboo I cut down last fall!


The only trick is splitting it. I used a machete and a maul I made
from a 3" Live Oak log with a whittled down handle. (few minutes with
a hatchet and buffed it up with a wire cup wheel).
Just get the machete started and whack it down with the maul.
If I was really doing a lot I would make a machine.
