3 Tips to Avoid Invasive Bamboo

Today’s video is a guide to avoid invasive problem bamboo in your UK garden amongst all the media horror stories currently - facts and practical garden advice if you want to grow bamboo plants or have moved into a house with one and want to avoid costly bamboo removal bills and house damage down the line. I discuss the varieties I would recommend, going through the common varieties available from clumping and 'well behaved' Fargesia to the running 'invasive' larger Phyllostachys as well as the importance of choosing the right bamboo for your space. Next up, I go through proper planting for new plants or existing clumps - leaving enough room for the bamboo and installing a bamboo rhizome barrier along with tips to contain your bamboo plant and why I wouldn't recommend using concrete or a buried pot or container to restrict bamboo. Finally I discuss the maintenance - simple, quick, but easy with the right tools and very important to keep your bamboo plants in check which is the most important of all to avoid your bamboo escaping and leading to potentially costly bills. All in all, these are amazing and beautiful plants and not difficult at all to grow without a worry as long as you follow these main three tips.
