Re: Bamboo shoots?

Thanks, Sue.  I am quite aware of bamboo's invasive qualities, but there is 
no danger of damage - just major annoyance.  The bamboo in question is at the 
bottom of the garden along the property line.  We are on a pretty steep incline 
with many rocky outcroppings between the house and the bamboo.  The neighbor 
is a difficult one, and may have planted the bamboo where she did because we 
would not let her put a deer fence across the middle of the small pond we 
share.  She's  a real nut about a lot of things, but we will cope.
Thanks for your concern, and everyone else's too.
