How To Grow Bamboo 

After having had to cut through forests of the stuff at work, I've often said I'd NEVER plant it on my property, but I'm about to 'bite the bullet' and grow myself a privacy fence. This video helped me make that decision. Good luck, me!

I'm addicted to bamboo. We recently acquired 10 acres in south Florida and by the time I die, it's going to look like a jungle in Thailand.

She made my bamboo grow!!!

Searched for bamboo, found this video that made me feel extremely calm. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. I’m so happy that you created this gorgeous, amazing wall, creating a sanctuary in the midst of garbage cans, pizza trucks, a giant high rise! Very good info on the pros and cons of growing it too.

Bamboo incredible the way grows. Back in the 80s we had it along the back fence a lot of privacy. A lot of memories. I've learnt something about bamboo thanks for sharing this video Sarah.

As one who came from south east Asia, I love bamboos. It's versatile, can be used as a building material, privacy hedging (as shown here), even for cooking (shoots). Thanks for sharing. 🙏 And what a lovely host. 😍

You are 100% correct but unfortunately Bamboo is ridiculously expensive in the USA. I live in the Philippines and the identical bamboo we buy & sell here for $1-2 dollars is sold for over $65++ in the USA.

I emwanted to plant on my property in east tn for years! Thanks and I've gotta say your just simply beautiful! My goodness, breathtaking!

I love Bamboo ae well. There is a wonderful vibe when you walk inside a bamboo forest. I plan to plant some for privacy next to my pool. Thanks for the video!

Great video! I love bamboos. Recently planted two clumps of fargesia. It's amazing how fast they respond to a heavy watering if they started to dry out. I thought I lost mine but they bounced back very well😊

What a soothing voice! Very informative and straight to the point video! Thank you!

Your eye makeup is as immaculate as the bamboo info in your video. You have a stunning garden, and you are yourself both talented and stunning. Thanks for sharing!

Compost is also available in your own backyard, from kitchen scraps. Plus, you avoid plastic sacks and shipping of tons of dirt

your voice is so soothing, so is your lawn. Great job.

First off, woman to woman; you're super cute and I love your eye color. Second, the music in the background was perfect, I didn't really realize it until close to the end and thought, ahh thats why this video was so nice and calming to watch. And lastly, so full of all the information I was looking for along with visual examples. Perfect! 10/10!

Best video I came across , informative , straight to the point and loaded with great tips . I just subscribed, thanks !

By planting bamboo, without you realizing it, you have contributed to saving this planet

Thank you. You made me realize I was not watering enough. Desert/hot climate. Looking forward to better results this year. I had done the research, but you seem to have had the same experience with lack of water. Great experiment. Thank you and be well.

Bamboo forrest....beautiful!

You have provided the information I needed. I want to grow bamboo in above ground planters. Then utilize the bamboo. BTW, I'm in Santa Monica. THAT Santa Monica.

Thank you for the video. I've been looking for a privacy fence for my backyard garden too and now I know what to watch out for when planting bamboo.

I'm so impressed by your green skills! 🌱🌟

I’m so happy that I found your channel. I was looking for information about Bamboo and I found you lol 😊

Incredibly well spoken.

Underrated micro channel

I love Bamboo, I have 2 varieties, black and red.. I’ve had them potted for the last 4 years or so, and next spring I will be taking them out of their pots and cutting each in half vertically.. I have watched someone do it on a RU-vid vid. I live in the UK so I don’t think bamboos here can grow to the size as the ones in your beautiful garden. Thank you for all the valuable information. Maz

My shoot started rising just looking at you and your bamboo

Such a magical tree, I mean grass! I love bamboo

Whoa that's the secret 2xdaily watering. Looks superb , nice production 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for the information, I have a ton of bamboo in my backyard now I know how it works.

I like your video on growing bamboo. My wife, and I are gonna try growing some ourselves this spring and summer...

Very cool and informative - and an absolute knockout - thanx

Hi am from uk 🇬🇧 just came across your video Looking for bamboo BUT WOW YOUR PARTNER SO SO LUCKY to have you good video's seen a lot now 😊😊😊❤

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating swales and plant them with bamboo

Absolutely beautiful. The bamboos nice too.

Great bamboo videos. Thanks. Looking to see more uses as we go.

Love your accent you are making my bamboo grow really fast and really hard.

Thankyou for your advice I'm laying a mote all around my property to contain the rhizomes so they somewhat controlled

use containers i've found large old cast iron baths work well and use vinca or certain ivy's to grow over the sides if you wish to hide the bath - and choose less vigorous versions.

That so beautiful!!! I wish I could get some cuttings of that bamboo to grow on my property!

Two years! Awesome video! Questions: 1. What type of soil do you have? (Clay, sand, pure black gold) 2. Wow, 2 years later! I wonder how are your bamboo doing? 3. What did the county/city ordinance say about maintaining the bamboo? 4. How deep does the bamboo rhizome system grow? I’m concerned with it growing too close to structures and compromising the foundation substrate. 5. Along with the bamboo barrier, could I use a 4”-6” thick cement trench wall? If so, how deep should I go? 6. How can you tell if you have a clumping or running bamboo? 7. If I grow nitrogen/nutrient providing Comfrey before the bamboo, would that suffice for feeding at least its nitrogen needs? 8. How tall did your bamboo grow? And how long did it take to get to that height? Thank you so much for your great help, patience and kindness in answering these questions! 😊

Thank you for sharing this with people I m looking forward to start growing my own bamboo

Hi Sarah! thanks for sharing.. your bamboo's look very happy in your garden.. one thing about those "annoying" shoots, you know you can eat them.. when they pop out about 50cm.. and more then that - you can make some beautiful art with them. the shoots are traditionally used in cutlery, cups, mugs.. its beautiful and dense wood that is durable and water proof.. so you know, if you didnt already.. XX

Thanks for the upload! I finally saw your movie 'Free Fall' a few days ago. It was fantastic! :)

As fast as I can fall in love with someone's eyes explaining this :)

In some areas it is wise to use clumping, rather than running, bamboo. The cold weather running bamboo can be difficult to control in hot climates . But there and a huge variety of bamboos that clump and have all the same benefits commercially and environmentally.

First off. Man to woman. Youre a weed in the fields of roses, resilient, strong, beautiful when understood. I want to understand you ❤ Thays my "rizz"

It's a useful plant. It can be invasive if planted in the wrong place, but if you have an area dedicated to it, plant the right species and take measures in advance to contain it, it's manageable. If it were as bad as everyone says it is, the whole world would be covered in it. I think loblolly pine is invasive, but you rarely hear anyone complain about it.

A great video! All the info in few minutes ❤

one maintenance activity I do is cut all the dead or even old culms out...and if you're completely bamboo ocd, you can shred/chip those culms/leaves and use that as a compost.

after 20 yrs dealing with multiple varieties i suggest it be planted in a 3' to 4' deep welded 1/4" steel box then poor 4" to 6" of steel reinforced concrete around the steel. it is a nice screen but it will escape any/all of the plastic "root barrier" sheets. you could also build mounds of soil on crack free concrete slabs and plant the bamboo on that.

I think this is the answer to the current lumber crisis, problem is getting it processed into construction grade plywood by next month.

awesome video...how many feet does the clumping bamboo grow from it's original mother plant?

Thank you for such a great presentation. With enough water & nitrogen, bamboo sounds like it would make a great "gap filler" for the border wall.

HOLLY MOLLY!!! that is a privacy WALL!! amazing!

IF you cut a stalk of bamboo; THEN how many times can it resume growing back?

Hola How very nice of you to share all the information about this amazing plant ... "Bamboo" #Gratitude

Fantastyczne bambusy 😁😁🔥🔥😘😘

nice. how about a video on maintaining the pool near bamboo?

holy moly. If you had it that high in the uk LOL neighbours would go mad.

Omg I could make so many trelises with that bamboo

Nicely done. Looking to grow bamboo on my property in the inland northwest. Some varieties do better than others in cooler zones. Anything will grow in SoCal for the most part. I was raised there.

That looks amazing! I have some clumping varieties along my fenceline for privacy, but it only gets about 8 ft tall...

Not sure who's prettier, her or her yard!! (of course her😎) I agree with the comment about her voice being soothing. Been trying to grow blue bamboo here in central Florida without any luck. Although I tried germinate the seeds in a pot instead of paper towel. That's next.

Fascinating, more work than I thought!

Whenever I hear your voice I think of you talking to the sheriff on the phone 😆

dayuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum DAT BAMBOO DOE! Thats high af looks like you live in a forest now haha amazing! Also that grower though

I'm happy that I finally managed to get a hold of bamboo seeds after 15+ years of searching around XD

Love this video thank you for all the tips

Im planning to plant these skinny bamboos not the giant ones, as for fencing purpose around my house. This blog is helpful💐, btw i find you very stunningly beautiful💐God bless! 👩‍👦

The bamboo look beautiful and she looks amazing.

Thank you for the knowledge.

It (bamboo) makes a great device tool too, it drives oil seals great without damaging them seals on engine crankshafts, To know that I'll return with the correct size diameter to drive those oil seals where they will live for the next 15 years or so (maybe more)

Nice, well presented and detailed… thanks for sharing…

Well this vid just burst my bubble high because I love bamboo and wanted to grow it in my backyard pool area but my neighbors will not like this.

I’ve tried growing bamboo, but my neighbor’s Panda keeps eating it. Any suggestions?

I have been Bamboozled ❤

I have my own personal Aspen groove, hug a tree everyday.

You make my bamboo grow in seconds

what is the official name for this bamboo type? it is absolutely beautiful!! ❤️

Fantastic video! Thanks 👍😁 Just have a few questions for you. I have the same dripper system on my bamboo, yours look so good so I'm wondering how long you water them for during each of the daily patterns? Thank you from Australia!

Thanks for the great video. It was very informative.

Nice love bamboo

Nice video. Knowledgeable

It can get under that concrete pretty easily. I've seen that happen.

Fun fact: It grows so fast that it was used in Asia as a torture/execution method. They would stake a person to the ground and the bamboo would grow through the person.

Thank you for sharing! This was so helpful

wow so amazing thanks for sharing😍😍😍

please help , i have just planted 500 bamboo plants on boundries of my 3 acre farm , My bamboos are 2 feet in hieght , i want them to grow faster , how much of NPK fertilizer should i give and through mixing in water or making layers?

Thanks for the info! I now know it's not a good idea to plant bamboo on my rented property 😂

I have just realised my bamboo is flowering , four plants spaced out all have began the process. I am thinking of using the seed to grow more. I am wondering if any other plants in the world are also flowering as I have learnt this can happen. Great video thanks

Brb gonna grow a bamboo garden now.

Some bamboo types are out of control here in Conn. Spreads like crazy. Especially in Calabria Italy with vegetable farms.

I just decided I'm not planting bamboo. I had no idea it grew that fast 😂

Super cool video… now asking how to get rid of it, asking for a friend

Great video. How deep are you burying the barrier? I want to grow at my property, but have heard horror stories of it taking over. Thanks for the great info.

You are so beautiful and knowledgeable

Ive got Bissetti bamboo, about 9 plants a good 8ft high but one set of plants lacks folliage the top third is barren this set of plants get a lot of wind during winter, most of it coming off the sea, were as the other plants that are protected by a big bay tree are doing really well, not sure what to do.

thanks I learnt a lot. Great video
