Helped the wife trim the...

[Uncle Pervey]

bush...the neighbor's bush that is. Fecking neighbors in the back corner of my lot have frigging bamboo growing.
Every spring and summer we have to go back there and hack the shit down that grows through, under and between the fence. I ended up with a pickup bed load of the shit that I had to bundle up and tie so the lawn waste truck will pick them up.
Anybody know how to kill fvcking bamboo?

If it's growing through the fence into your yard, why are you carting it away?

Cut it and throw it back over the fence.

That crap is almost impossible to kill from what I have heard. A lot of places now ban planting it since it spreads and takes over all other plants. Even if you burn it the roots will still send up new plants

On another note, it's good that you and your wife are doing shit together again.

That's a good point.. I should have thrown it back over the fence. The neighbors would never notice, he's a Vietnamese and a Doctor, she's a druggist. They don't take care of their lawn for shit.

If memory serves, Agent Orange will get rid of bamboo.

That is because everything to them is a "garden". I think it is a place for Charlie to hide. Watch that mofo, he might be in to voo doo and shit.

I think he is a witchdoctor... a couple of years ago my wife got her nose broken at school (she's a PE teacher) she was playing basketball with the kids and caught an elbow in the schnozola. It was bleeding like a stuck pig so they took her to the ER. He was the doctor on duty, he packed it with gauze and then told her to go home and rub an egg on it.
Now that sounded like some witchdoctor shit to me.
Don't worry if he is VC, I got his ass covered, I keep an AK loaded by my bed! I just finished this mofo this week.

According to this site, as soon as you cut it, you have to spray round up within 10 seconds or so in order to kill the roots.

Also found this thread and the guys says the same thing:

Killing bamboo is something I've had success at doing, when we cut ourselves a signal is sent to the brain, our brain then sends out clotting agents to seal the wound ..same thing happens to a plant, but in the case of a plant the seal is a gas. It takes about 3 seconds for a bamboo plant to release its gas, so the best way to kill it is to cut them one by one and quickly spray or dab roundup at the cut.

Pour your used motor oil under the fence when you change your oil. Should do the trick

[Fastguy]

Is it actual bamboo or that Japanese Knotweed crap?

YUP, mix it with a little kerosene or gasoline to aid it soaking in really good, kills ALL vegetation and bugs also....I just poured some all around a shed that was getting attacked by the world famous FLORIDA termites....soaked everything in and out,
