Update: Six months on and I've been cutting the heads off any bamboo shoots that pop up. I've had to take the clearing saw to them about 3 times through the spring and summer. Now there isn't much bamboo appearing, so it seems to have worked so far. Instead I've got weeds to deal with. This area will be turned into a gravel driveway eventually.

@Ronove That bamboo is tenacious. Thanks for the tip - I'll be digging the area out at some point to put the driveway down.

@@TokyoLlama I live in France and i heard that if you want to keep bamboo but not let it spread too much, you will have to surround it by cement underground, so it can surround the root and not let it spread too much. I'm not an expert tho and it's only something i heard, i would recommend to search for more info tho.

You have to dig them out. However digging bamboo up is extremely difficult(My dad did once and he cursed the death bamboo to hell) and some people prefer to get professionals to blow the roots up with dynamite.

Sharing bamboo removal stories (Pennsylvania) -Six months ago I didn't know a thing about bamboo and accepted a seller's story line that is easy to manage and provides a great privacy barrier. I don't share their opinion. As a result, I'm removing by hand 1/4 acre of 50 foot x 2" (+) bamboo. Using a sawsall I cut the stalks at or below the soil. Then I'm separating the leafy section, the stalk, and the root ball. The stalks and leafy material are being recycled for mulch. The root ball or as much of it as I can get goes to my burn pit. Every time a see a rhizome, I split it and follow it in opposing directions with a hatchet. The rhizomes go to the burn pit. I'm six months into the process and most of it on my hands and knees. BTW, this is on a hill, and being replaced with pachysandra and blue spreading evergreen. Hope this is worthwhile to someone.

I was successful removing my 1/4 acre of forty year old, unmaintained bamboo forest... However, it was all done manually. Sent fifteen, 15 yard containers of bamboo to the dump; left the culms in the ground (they are dying), and burned innumerable piles of rhyzones in my burn pit on site. Since then, I patrol everyday for any new survival shoots... The property looks amazing now!

Hi, just discovered your channel,.. you are living my dream,... the buying & renovation part , not the cutting bamboo part. You should have used the tractor !!! or did you sell it !

I will get back to binge watching your videos & live my dream thru you.

With certain invasive weeds in the United States, you water the ground, then cover it with black plastic sheeting for about 8 weeks during hot weather. It makes the roots rot away quicker.

@lesliekilgore648
@lesliekilgore648 4 года назад
bamboo is more invasive though. every main stalk that shoots up out of the ground can be supported or can become the support system, called a 'mother tree', for a huge network of underground horizontal growing feeder roots. each time a root reaches a genetic distance from the 'mother tree' it grows a fresh bamboo shoot and it grows up out of the ground. some bamboo species are 'clumpers' they grow in bushes that are tight. and other species are 'runners' that spread out and create swaths of land like bamboo forests. we're talking acres upon acres of bamboo in less than five years if it's not stopped. oh and bamboo shoots can break building foundations if the 'mother tree' isn't killed first. so, black plastic isn't exactly going to deter a bamboo shoot. there's even an ancient Chinese torture manual that 'supposedly shows' how to stake a man to the ground over a bamboo shoot and it'll grow up THROUGH his body. but that's mostly an urban legend/folk tale/mythology. it'd take more than a year or two for a shoot to pierce through a man. and he'd die of exposure, dehydration, starvation first and start to decay. therefore his corpse would be quite easily pierced. his body would also be fertilizing the soil underneath his corpse making the shoot grow even faster. which would probably make it LOOK like the bamboo shoot killed him as it grew up through his still living body. :)

I had to turn off the techno-buzz and it left the vid rather 2-dimensional ... I do look forward to the evolution of music and video as renovations develop.

Here in the States, our aunt planted a running variety of bamboo about 40 years ago. Since the it has taken over the yard on the east side, completely swallowing a summer house that exists down there. My sister bought the house after our Aunt passed away. We have tried several methods to try to get some control over eradicating it, but it does come back. You have to watch it and be proactive in getting out and ready to chop it down at ground level as soon as you see it. The only way we almost got rid of a lot of it was this. Two years ago we had severe winter cold and snow for several weeks, with days well below freezing and nights pushing close to 0 degrees F during the same period. As soon as the weather warmed, it appeared we had a lot of dead bamboo (which still shows up in the middle of the thicket two years later). If you ever want to plant bamboo in your landscape, be sure you buy and plant the clumping varieties, not the running ones.

One thing to watch out for when using a brush cutter: walk the area first to determine if there are rocks, wires or metal poles sticking up in the area you are attempting to clear. You don’t want shrapnel flying off in all directions. You seemed to be aiming very low. I would go higher for the first attempt, and then clear what you’ve cut so that you can take second pass. Also, cutting bamboo off close to the ground is not really necessary.

It awful to have bamboo, you can't cover it with black plastic as it comes right through, it's so strong. So don't cover it with gravel, it will be your returning nightmare.

Unfortunately where I live all the big bamboo removal company’s are quoting me 8-12k to get there equipment out to me and get the job done because of how far away I am from them and I don’t have that kind of money anytime soon to spend on bamboo but The longer I wait the more it grows out and runs farther and farther. I was actually told by a old old landscaper in my home town that has had good success with removing bamboo that Aslong as you cut off all the main root systems from spreading( aka putting up a barrier between me and the neighbors yard) cut it down to ground level. And mow it for 3 years it will eventually run out of energy and die. He told me he’s done it dozens of times with his clients and up to a acre of land at a time. He said Aslong as you stick to it.You will notice progress and the roots slowly will rot from underneath. I’m trying to find any method that doesn’t involve 10k. does it seem to be working for you?

Clearing saws are meant to be swung from side to side, steadily clearing a path. Do not treat it like a power saw and methodically cut each piece of shrub. Swing -> slice -> move. Swing -> slice -> move.

Hello, Thank you for your video. I saw you were using a gas powered wood chipper any thoughts on this, what is the maker/model, cost? was it worth it? I know I can rent one that is quite high powered? Also what about the width of the wood or type of wood? Only for bamboo?

I have a Woodmaxx DC-1260 and it chips it ok, but I'm still left with lots of stringy mess after a first pass. Still better than burning it, because then you get lots of popping from all the moisture content inside.

first of all, if the roots getting what they need, they won't die, second, use a machete.

​@@atomictraveller First of all thank you, for your comment. Let me explain the meaning of common sense. First make sure no one / nothing is around when you work with a machete. Safety First. Second: Private property in Japan. No one will trespass your property without permission. Reason ?, its called Respect. Have a nice day.

@@JackalJBlack i clear land professionally, all day, for a golf course in arizona, where everything is sun baked hard as fuck, pointy, full of sand/hard to cut, et c. no such thing as private property as far as fauna are concerned, depends what you want to do i guess. fun tip: my fave machete from thailand "knife making village" aranyik, holds a lovely edge, super heavy special (mine is 6 lbs :) worth it if you fancy teh extravagance. yeah for sure, a region of pointy bamboo cuts would teach a form of respect, specially with a trip wire and a coating of shit. i always like to rush out there and cram weasels up their ass heather o'rourke stylee afterwards, stops em coming back.

You already had one of those clearing saws in one of your outbuildings.
