I have a clump type bamboo that doesn't get over 3 feet tall and I will be getting rid of some since it is evasive
Would that work?

firewater-
I'm curious about what you have, because clumping bamboo is, by definition, not invasive.

If I were you, I would steer clear of anyone's bamboo. We are battling Japanese Running Bamboo, another name is Knotweed. The bamboo appears to be in a clump, BUT the clumps are connected by a massive root system. We had to cap off the area of the bamboo (after I thought I had pulled out all of the clumps and roots, this was after digging in to the ground about a foot and a half) with landscape cloth and tarps. The stuff creeps along the tarp and cloth to the openings where I planted my perennials, is there a stronger word for invasive? This is alien invasion! Be careful with what you ask for!

Just so you know, the only relationship between knotweed and bamboo is that they're both plants. Despite the name "Japanese Running Bamboo," it's not a bamboo. You're right, knotweed -- emphasis on "weed" -- is terribly invasive. If you ever succeed in getting rid of it, try bamboo...it's much easier to manage!

ebeth276,
Kudzu is spot on (as normal) with the knotweed. I have gone to places around my area where I was told large 'bamboo' groves were... only to find more Knotweed. Once I found a whole hillside overrun with knotweed, blackberrys, ivy and scotchbroom... it was so sad that I wish I had my camera.
