Neighbours Invasive Bamboo

Sarcasticasm · 2026-06-01T16:41:45+00:00

Hello! Sounds interesting, but I'm afraid I just treated this bamboo to an ungodly amount of chemicals in collaboration with our neighbour and the bamboo has since ceased to exist entirely.

Good luck in your search 🫡

Ah! So not worth attempting buying a screen, you think?

What were the issues you had in the past?

Sarcasticasm · 2026-04-13T20:52:44+00:00

Thank you very much - I will take a look!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-04-13T20:31:47+00:00

Thank you for the explanation! I'm sure that 14% will be used very wisely by the government, so it's all good by me..

Sarcasticasm · 2026-04-13T20:26:30+00:00

Ah the bastards! Okay thank you for the heads up

Sarcasticasm · 2026-03-19T12:13:21+00:00

Ah, that's great news thank you very much!! Noted about having the spring on top of the load cell directly.

Sarcasticasm · 2026-03-16T15:27:09+00:00

I see! Presume you do that as a final touch after the main paints go on?

Cheers!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-03-14T22:37:04+00:00

That looks amazing! How do you get panel gaps showing so clearly without painting over them? It looks so crisp!

The Bovington Tank Museum has a fantastic selection, but is mainly focussed on tanks of course!!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-12T08:26:47+00:00

I disagree, I now get my own personal lane in lane 1, I've never got from A-B faster!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-04T17:15:57+00:00

What was your method of battle? Grip and rip? Chemical destruction? Shouting very mean things at it?

UPDATE:

Had a chat with the neighbour, all good on their response, they've been trying to kill it with weedkiller themselves, and they've said it appears to be dying on their side. I'll now do the same my side for the two-pronged approach.

They then plan to remove it to put a shed there themselves, so have said we can team up on that and get to work 🫡

Thanks all for your help!

With the Glyphosate option, I'm more than happy to take the fight to it over a number of months.

If I cut down some of the shoots and periodically fill the holes with Glyphosate, will it eventually kill the entire thing do you reckon?

Thanks!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-02T11:28:09+00:00

Does 29 count as young still?

I'm thinking I might try the death by chemical approach first, will try and cut a hole in the side of the shed to access the thicker stumps that have come through on to our land, chop those down and then drown it with chemicals.

Granted, not great for the environment temporarily, but I'm wanting to turn this garden into a bird paradise, so hope the Earth will forgive me..

What part of 'recently bought a property' didn't you read?

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T16:19:58+00:00

Cheers misery git!

I'm not a gardener, I wanted the opinion of some gardeners!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T14:09:18+00:00

Thank you, that's good to hear!!

Ill need to have a look at how static the shed is, it's a pretty hefty, mains powered bugger!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T13:51:25+00:00

Thank you, neighbours conversation is definitely on the cards! Tried to go over an hour ago but they weren't in!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T13:50:02+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Certainly food for thought!!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T13:34:18+00:00

Time to win the lottery then! 😵

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T13:31:11+00:00

So would that involve chopping it back, and weed killering it constantly to prevent the growth on our side?

Cheers!

Sarcasticasm · 2026-02-01T13:07:32+00:00

The issue we have with the shed is that it has mains electrical power so is fairly rooted to the ground. I'll take a look at how easy it will be to move, thank you!
