How can I get rid of the bamboo that's spreading through my border?


Our Advice:

Cut the stems down to ground level, then spray the regrowth with Super Strength Weedkiller from SBM or Superfast & Long lasting Weedkiller from Neudorff. The chemical is absorbed more quickly by the young leaves and stems and will kill the underground roots. Several applications will be needed for established clumps.
