RE: Rhizomes pushed through the bottom of the container.

I've seen some sources on the web that say some kinds of bamboo start sending roots and shoots aggressively after they've been disturbed.

Re: RE: HR 875

As to her husband's level of entanglement in Monsanto, there are as many articles to say he is, as say he isn't. That I only post as something to be questioned. As to the other link- there is nothing I'll ever except directly from Monsanto as truth. Edit to add- yes, I am letting my personal opinio...

HR 875

Has anybody heard about HR 875 . Do you know about this bill? I've been searching around on it for the past half hour. Sounds unbelievably evil and I don't know what to think. Large corporations who've been known for getting legislation pushed thru the system quickly and discreetly would like to see...

RE: Help with my "minature" Moso

wow. I'm a beginner and folks I've talked to around here (in NC) have said bamboo is a very hearty plant. I just set 57 moso seeds and now I'm wondering if I should've started with something else. I got my seeds from ebay too . I know some kind of yellow bamboo grows well around here in zone 5/6 but...

RE: Growing on a grade

Many thanks to all of you helping me. So far I've read very little from the forum here. Google brought me here a night or two ago. The thread I read started off with almost the exact same question I had. The question was answered quickly, then the discussion devolved and went way off topic, ....and ...
