| I've never done it. But I have a guess as to how to do it for a spreading type of bamboo. Go to the edge of the patch of bamboo. Look for a shoot that is just BARELY erupting from the ground. Then carefully move the dirt away from it. There should be a runner. Cut the runner about ten inches from either side of the new shoot. Take note of how deep the runners are and then go plant them the same depth. This would be the time of year to do it. If you want a bunch of bamboo, chop a patch down almost level to the ground, disk up the soil, find the runners in the loose soil, cut them into pieces somewhere around two feet long and then plant them at the same depth roughly as you found them. Water of course. If someone posts something different than what I just said... follow their advice. |
