What's in your garden?

I would NEVER plant bamboo anywhere near anything important. It is very aggressive and strong.

Well sure TM that's good advice and pretty common knowledge. At least to me because I always hear how bad bamboo is.
I just wanted to point out that in the right circumstance or the right TYPE of bamboo you can grow it with no problems.

After saying this to a family member, they planted some in a 'protective pot' in their new deck. It is now poking through the sheet rock of their finished basement. I hate to say I told them so..... A landscaper told them they'd have to take out the entire deck to find all the roots and even then it couldn't be guaranteed. Scary, but beautiful. (Like me, I guess). :spaz:

That's kind of funny. They had a pot IN their deck? what was it made out of? did the roots grow through the pot and the concrete foundation? Wow? It sounds to me like their foundation had cracks in it.
