I :biggrinlike it !
May I have some long bamboo stalks? It's not for planting brush in water though. What tools are needed to cut them down? 1/2" to 1" diameter at root.
My first years of crappie fishing was done with cane/bamboo poles. Cut them in the fall and hang them upside down with a brick tied on the end to get them good and straight. After they are dried out, put a coat of varnish on them and line them up. Hook, split shot, cork and minnows that we caught in the creek. I got a Zebco 33 for my birthday when I was 12 and I thought that I was the richest kid in the county.:biggrin
Thumper you are dating your self talking about cane poles. I used them as a kid too. They works just fine.
Sam thanks for the picture I think that's just what the doctor ordered.
Them will work real good! I got to get started on some my self.
That is perfect! Any idea how many acres?
Yea, I'm older than dirt!Quote:

r2002, Cut best with a chain saw. Thumper, I also hung 'em upside down to dry before fishing with 'em. If used green for bank hooks in the river the beavers would work 'em over pretty good (didnt take long to learn that). Need to dry 'em some first. Still use some every now and then for pole beans. :) Anybody around here that has boo is more than glad to let you cut ALL YOU WANT.
Sam , That looks great. Thank's for lettin us cut there. By the way , I saw a road just up from there on the map with a great name on it. Ya'll special to have a road like that. :biggrin
the bamboo looks good,. I could not afford the varnish when I was little just used brick and tried in tree .

is there a power outlet that I can use? if yes, how long the extension cable need to be? I got an electric chain saw, and am afraid my extension cable not long enough. I need less than 10 bamboo. thanks!
Anyone who needs boo around the Lake Murray area, let me know. I've got about 2 acres of the stuff that needs thinning big time and you can have all you want. Some of these are 25-30' tall and I can't use it fast enough. If you want to start your own patch, I have a backhoe and will dig some up for you.
Does anyone know the common or scientific name of this plant? All that I can find in NE Okieland is giant sand reed (Arundo donax) which is not the same stuff. Just wondering if its mainly a southern species?
Bamboosweedus?

Camo, the invasive "running" bamboo in south Carolina is Golden or fishpole bamboo (Phyllostachys aurea). Once started, it's almost impossible to get rid of.
I want to be if I can. I'll put my money and time in best I can. I don't have a boat but can help put stuff together.
Any help I can provide I'm willing.
Neil, we finished up a couple weeks ago. We'll probably do it again next year. Watch for a post about January It's a lot of work, but fun when you have a crew helping.
Thank you scooperdude. I will keep a look out in Jan.Quote:
