| Im building a house on a cleared lot. The problem is that bamboo shoots have reappeared up through the cleared dirt. How do I get rid of it? Renee |

| Do you mean Japanese Knotweed? If so, it's very tough. There are discussions about it on various forums on Garden Web. |

| Nope, Thats not it. This has narrow pointed leaves. When I was a child we used to cut it to make a fishing pole. |

| There is a long running old thread about bamboo on the Virginia gardening forum, its kind of amusing if you enjoy other people's pain. |

| Thats pretty discouraging. At least the lot is other wise cleared except for a large white oak tree and some Lob Lolly Bays. Maybe we can try to control it before planting anything else. |

| I haven't tussled with it yet but I understand it's a tough one. |
