• could I get away with planting bamboo in the back of the bed here (as circled in pink) (this would be in front of my fence) and then planting other grasses/shrubs/flowers in front of it ? I don't know if there are issues with contention for resources/nutrients/space (especially given I'm going to bookend that run with a couple of trees 8-12ft trees)

  • In short yes, but I would recommend something solid as root containment all the way around them to prevent them from spreading. The clump forming motherfucking triffidy bastards are more difficult to get rid of than Covid 19 once established.

  • I’m planning on ripping out our current hedge, and re planting with bamboo. I was just gonna go for clumping and plant it in plastic troughs but maybe not strong enough? I think as long as you thin the stems of bamboo out at the ground then it keeps them from getting too bushy.
    I’ve also got to remove a couple more dead trees from the end of the garden. Should I get a chainsaw or will something like a Zubat do the job?
