Chillin' In The Garden
I love my bamboo stand! Today I made a pole bean trellis using bamboo cross pieces lashed to locust uprights. (Thank-you, Muggins for the Dr. Martins seeds!)
My cukes grow up 4-sided "teepees" of bamboo. with string wound around for climbing. Plant need support? Use a bamboo pole. Orchid bloom supports. Eat the new shoots. Split dried poles for garden markers.
I've made a "tiki hut" to shade young plants, using bamboo for uprights lashed to cross-members, the top covered with the bamboo leaves I trimmed off. As the leaves dried, the young plants got more sun and were "hardened off."
Some regret their bamboo plantings but we control it by using it!
