You have got to dig it up completely; every little bit of it. Roots, shoots, twigs, everything.

You forgot to mention if it's running bamboo or clumping!
If it's running bamboo be prepared to work hard.

To successfully remove bamboo, James suggests stabbing a small shovel around the base of the plant. Gently lift the shovel to remove as much of the plant as possible. Then thoroughly inspect the soil to a depth of about a foot, and remove any roots that remain. "If you leave behind even the tiniest bit of root or rhizome, you'll have more bamboo," says James.

If a neighboring bamboo is infiltrating your yard, there are several ways to treat the problem. Keep in mind that the rhizomes are like underground stems and can travel long distances as well as under fences.

Before you start the process determine which one you have and that can make your job way easier.
Good Luck to you!
Especially if it's running bamboo.

Answer 3

yes, you need to dig it out all of it, the roots and you may have to do this a couple if times, but why would you want to, you do know that you can use it to may a little bit of money with it (bamboo fishing poles) and you can eat the shoots is soups and some meat and chicken dishes. well if you want to get rid of it then yes, you have to dig it out and pick up all the twigs sticks and roots.
good luck....cya....

Seriously, you really will have a job getting rid of it for good...just keep digging out all the roots you can and be very careful not to leave any broken bits of root in the soil...eventually you will be rid of it if you are just a little more aggressive than it is.<

Answer 5

use a shovel to cut a circle at theouter limit of where it grows, stopping the baby shoots. make a smaller circle all around to make the plant smaller. find the mother plant and cut a very small circle around it. the last circle should kill all distant plants and if your circle is right, you will kill the base plant as well.

hope that is clear

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
