Awesome list!
Nice picture of a bamboo fountain there on your post as well.
One thing is missing: A bamboo may also be used in creating bamboo fountains!
Thanks Amy! You are correct and we have that on our list for our next 101 uses….we will actually have many more lists over the next several weeks. It’s amazing how many uses there truly are for bamboo.
Thanks for the post Amy
How do you get rid of the stuff? The previous owners planted it as a privacy fence, but it’s growing everywhere.
Hi Joe,
Well if you don’t want to find use for it around your home or garden, I’m going to suggest you visit the American Bamboo Society’s page for detailed instructions on how to control the bamboo in your yard. Visit this link, http://www.americanbamboo.org/GeneralInfoPages/ControllingBamboo.html, for more information.
Thanks so much!
