Reply With QuoteA stalk of bamboo is segmented in 6" sections. Each section is sealed. You would have to drill a hole in each section and it would reduce the strenght of the bamboo, so it would not last as long under water.

What if
Everyone is talking about how much weight it takes to sink boo. What if you drill a hole at the top and bottom of each of the lower chambers so there will not be any air pockets? Leave the uper section along. I think this will reduce the amount of weight needed and help it stay upright. I've not tried this yet, but think it will work.

The bamboo sinks just fine with enough weight, I don't know just what that ratio is but I sink mine with just gravel and rocks in the bucketts, you do need to lock the boo in the buckett some way or it will float out, that is why I use a certain amount of gravel in the lower half of the buckett. I think it is important that the upper parts of the bamboo have those air pocketts so it stands up and takes on a vase like appearance. I agree with Spiderman that drilling all those holes would speed up the decomposing process.
