I live in Edgewater Maryland and our community has a problem with bamboo in one of our open spaces. It was allowed to grow when the community was first established. The community hired someone to cut the bamboo down but I recalled learning in Master Gardener training that it only will spread underground and grow elsewhere…which it does. A We’re reluctant to use weed killer such as roundup for obvious reasons. We are trying to clear the lot of stones and debris so the lot can be mowed but I am unsure this will work. I fear it will just spread elsewhere. I am a lapsed master gardener because I have been away for 7 years and I may not be aware of new ways to get around a bamboo affliction….any advice will be greatly appreciated.
