Its got to go

Blues

Yesterday I discovered an invasion of bamboo coming from next door.  At first I was not too concerned but having googled it I discovered it can be quite destructive. I had a chat with my neighbour and to cut a long story short he said he would remove it. I read somewhere online that weed killer won't touch it. The wall is constructed of concrete blocks and I would guess the roots must be at least 80cm to a metre deep to travel under the footings so is digging them out the only way or is there a chemical that would do the job

It can be a hellish thing to get rid of unfortunately. They don't usually run too deep, but I expect it depends on the size and nature of the one you have there.
Digging out is often the only way, but I wonder if you could use the SBK stump killer on it in winter, if you can't get all of it out?

We have a patch in our village that has come through a garden wall and is growing up through the path and the road !! The council are doing battle with both the bamboo and the house owner but after 3/4 years the bamboo continues to come back and laugh in the face of herbicide, concrete, brick and tarmac 🤣🤣
