Placement for timber bamboo.

Do I want to put the start in the North end of the area or the south end where I want it to fill in?



I placed it in the south.

This is Phy Nigra Henon. I have high hopes of it getting REALLY BIG.

Re: Violent images of chaos, damage & destruction

I got a mole this year that was SO huge. It was crazy. Was thinking about deep fat frying it for the dogs. Shame to waste that much meat. :shock:
