Carolina Gardening: Name that bamboo, 0 by keonikale

Morning glories or moon vine would look beautiful there - would be a nice filler.

In many places the plastic did end up more than 4" above ground, though in some places it's rather close - I'm def. going to have to keep an eye on it.

The barrier was $200 for what was well over 130' of rhizome barrier. The plastic, as I noted, was also a great deal thicker than I imagined. 30-40mil would have probably been fine for this smaller bamboo. It would have been hard for me to break the plastic with my shovel, even with a good whack. Still, no harm with extra thickness I suppose - bamboo does find a way as you said. The weight was the only real downside.
