Timor Black Bamboo

Here's this summer's growth on the Timor Black Bamboo.

Works really well to grow bamboo - have heavy rocks that you can lift and edge when the new shoots of bamboo emerge.  Backfill with compost and then replace the rocks - this adds a layer of organic above the growing culms of bamboo - I think it works as it decomposes right on top of the plant.
