Re: bamboo

I'd agree, Eva, if you can't mow around where you want the bamboo, a
runner will be a real pain to contain.

From the rather quick pass I gave to all those clumping species on
the New England Bamboo site, appeared there were some with nifty
attributes that might make up for lack of diameter of the culms.
