Dear Kale, THANX for sharing. We all have big-idea projects to share in our gardens. I need to do the same type of barrier for the 250' of privacy fences around us. You forgot to tell us how much $ you paid for that plastic?
As you can see Bamboo has buds at each joint. You can cut it off to three feet and the buds will come alive so the stubs will throw up branches and the runners from the crown below ground will grow up beside them. If it's not to late pull up the plastic to 6" above ground. Nature finds a way - just watch Jurasic Park movie to get the message.

This first year I recommend growing morning glories next to the bamboo. They won't mind the companinonship. I have lots of extra Moon Vine seed and Heavenly Blue seed, if you want some just D-mail me.
