Bamboo encrochment from neighbor

I bought the house I've been living in for 18 years around 1.5 years ago. My neighbor moved out and now rents the place out. I see him once in a while, but we aren't freindly, although I could make an effort. Anyway, there's a big stand of lush bamboo on his side of the fence and it leans over the fence, but what's worse is the runners that come into my yard and make my life miserable. My tactic up to now has been: 1. to cut back the stuff that leans over my fence. 2. cut off the growing tips that come up fron the runners as much as I can. This controls things to a big extent, but it will never stop the problem and it keeps getting worse. This bamboo (I'm in Berkeley, CA, and I think this is very common stuff around here) grows so fast it's staggering. It can grow several inches per day at times. You go out in the yard on a weekend and see shoots feet high that you never saw the week before. I've tried cutting out the runners, but it's a losing battle. I don't think I can compel the owner to control his bamboo but I figure I can place barriers on my side of the 5.5 foot high fence down into the soil that will stop his runners from invading my property. Can I get suggestions for materials to use, how to install and how deep? Or are there better methods? Thanks! Dan I'm looking for bamboo to plant to create a barrier between my house and the neighbor's (which I will plant in a rhizome barrier). All the nurseries I've checked are charging $60 to $90 for each 5 gallon container, and I need about 12, so I'm thinking it might be cheaper to dig out some bamboo that someone doesn't want and replant it. How much bamboo is there? Would the owner be willing to have it completely removed? M-L H |

alt.home.repair: He died shortly there after from ingrown toe nails. He should have grown them in toenail barriers. You should have posted earlier. |

How much bamboo is there? Would the owner be willing to have it completely removed? Do you want real bamboo? Japanese knotweed has a similar appearance and makes a good barrier. Be aware it's aggressive and you'll be fighting it tooth and nail. |
