It's covered thickly with heavy, tall bamboo, various volunteer trees that that have appeared during the last few years of total yard drought. And my evil nemesis, blackberries. I don't even know what to do, or where to start. This is beyond me.
What do you mean "Water fixed" all this stuff grew with out being watered?
What kind of Bamboo do you have, you said it's tall , how tall and how thick is it at the base. I would like to have some bamboo that gets bigger then what I already have, so I would do some clean up for ya just to let me dig some up
The only way I control, (and control is the key word ) black berries is to keep cutting them. I do get rid of some in the winter when the ground is soft but mostly I just cut them flush with the ground.
My neighbors on both sides of me are over run with blackberries One of them thinks it's an alternative to having skirting on his trailer :shock:
