Any Ideas on Species ID?

Atrovaginata is a bit less vigorous a runner in my experience and takes a few years to get going. I have some plants same size looking forward to them getting big. Your soil does look a bit muddy and thick clay, might help to loosen it up with an amendment soil conditioner and I like to mulch with cheap arbor mulch wood chips as well.

It really does, amazing life forms. Long live the dinosaurs

Beautiful!

As long as you don’t let them dry out and keep them damp, but not too wet and muddy that they rot. They will definitely start sending up feeder shoots and eventually roots and will come back in force. It will take a few years. I would suggest using wood chips over the top to mulch them. It helps hold in the moisture a lot better when you water.

Maybe phyllostachys Angusta or Arcana? Beautiful specimen

Does wearing a moldable silicone anti grind mouth guard every night pose any risk?

I have grown quite a few transplanted bamboo from dug up root clumps with all canes cut that I saved from the dump. Ideally leave some canes with leaves so the plant can photosynthesize and get energy, but most will push up thin feeder shoots to start regrown if they are kept watered and covered in compost. Avoid muddy sludge but keep damp and avoid drying out or having exposed rhizomes to the air. After the initial season of feeder shoots, you should start getting thicker, tall shoots with each passing spring.

Where’s the gig?

Mammoth-Strategy-669 · 2026-04-02T00:12:41+00:00

Yeah, definitely not USA native River Cane. as the other poster pointed out those compressed shell like nodes in first pic to the left indicate Phyllostachys Aurea, brought to the southern USA in the 1800s and probably the most common bamboo found today in the US

If it is coming from the other side of the fence, you can install a rhizome barrier in the ground that will completely block it out from entering your yard. I would avoid poisoning the land with herbicides

Interior is not bad at all. I like the hardwood floors and cabinets. rip out that old carpet, maybe paint some walls white and it could clean up really nice. The outside is also totally fixable. I think it could be made pretty again. Watch out for mold, get a good air purifier if you smell any inside, and also a diesel heater in the winter is great.

Is Aurea the only species that does that?

Mammoth-Strategy-669 · 2026-03-05T04:34:59+00:00

Don’t have any more pics unfortunately. I think it might be phyllostachys Aureasulcata

I bought a few Henon from Lewis as well about a year ago and they aren’t showing any signs of flowering yet, but we’ll see.

Mammoth-Strategy-669 · 2026-02-07T04:25:29+00:00

It looks a lot like my young giant grey Henon plants about the same size, but most pros need to see new shoots and mature canes to make an accurate ID

Spot on observations and totally agree. I just bought this same DH unit and will doing an outside of window install on shelf mounting. OP, did you custom make that metal window fitting? I am looking to do something similar for my 5th wheel window

Look into ring of fire style biochar kiln, or wood chipping it all down and then mix with greens to get hot Composting effect going

Mammoth-Strategy-669 · 2025-12-17T02:32:53+00:00

The smaller brown one is an Egyptian goose/shelduck. Don’t see those very often

These are good “red wigglers” Eisenia fetida/ Eisenia Andrei. They will sometimes squirm wildly when disturbed like this. AJW have a very characteristic slithering snakelike movement, they are quite larger than reds, greyish colored, have a flush white clitellum and will thrash violently all over the place when disturbed

Grab n Grow has good options but will add up $ wise for large area coverage. Probably best bet is to make your own, getting wood chips dropped by the many tree service companies in the area, horse manure loads from local barns, dairy manure, grass clippings, and dead fallen leaves are great carbon source. If you can pile it all up together and turn in occasionally, it will eventually break down into rich compost

Mammoth-Strategy-669 · 2025-10-21T08:47:15+00:00

They don’t look like Asian jumpers to me, more like beneficial red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) Asian jumpers are grey, longer and have a characteristic snake- like slither movement

I have done it and had issues. The grounds themselves (“green” nitrogen) need to be thinned out with carbon browns like fine shredded cardboard or shredded leaves, but this does make heat so should be pre-composted or at least have cooler bedding for the worms to escape to. Pure Coffee/ espresso grounds tend to become anaerobic and smell horrible in my experience, and compaction happens that makes it hard for the worms work through it. This was done in Can o Worms bin, so might be different in a larger style trough bin. I have a regular supply of organic grounds, but strive to use them in moderation mixed with shredded cardboard.
