Don't worry. This is an entirely manageable addiction...at least I think so. I'm not sure my wife does! Welcome to the community.

Oh GREAT..now that's another boo I have to add to my list! :)

Bamboo, a grass that is addictive. Erm, don't read too much into that statement...

It took mine almost 4 yrs to get to a inch in diameter.. maybe your soil is better than mine.. keep it contained as mine has run amock and sent its roots 10 feet from the orginal planting and into my neighbors yard... been hell digging it up as the roots are also a inch thick as well.. boo can be a hobby and passion but for me this year its been a nightmare as both my runners behaved for 3 yrs then this year broke out of my barrier and took over everywhere.. after 4 yrs most my culms are all about 1 inch a few are slightly larger but 80% are the same size as last year..

AMEN Kudzu... AMEN!!

Any seeds to share?

Any advice on 2 10 gallon pitt white that apparently do not like the planters at all... lots of ratty look.

CJ-
In my experience, Pitt White is sensitive to wind, to too much sun, and to underwatering.

that explains alot... :( I hear they dont like planters either.

Kudzu... you interested in a 10 gallon PW? I may take it down the road and set up a new home for it in the tree line... about 20 acres, fairly wooded.
