My husband and I live in Alabama and have 44 acres. Most of it is pasture and very picturesque, except for one thing, the neighbors’ compound. We would like to plant some running bamboo along our fence and far, distant pasture in order to have some privacy for ourselves. However, we are afraid the running bamboo may spread into the neighbors’ yard. It is a very long distance and the neighbors are uphill, so we need the most cover for the money, but at the same time don’t want to cause any issues. Running bamboo sounds like the best bet?
Clumping bamboo is too expensive and won’t cover enough.
What are some ways to costly prevent spreading or will we be ok if we plant far enough from our fence?
Anyone plant it in a pasture before?
I have attached a picture of the area we want to run the bamboo.
Also, what is a good type to buy?
Thank you very much!
