We would like to have bamboo growing all along the property line. I wouldn’t even mind if it was all in our field here. We have 2 cows, do not a huge problem.
Anyone with advise on bamboo types?
Sunflowers? Out of the question unless they grow like 40 ft tall, and besides, I’m not exactly trying to make the eye drawn over there any more than it already is....
But thank you for all the suggestions.

Ok, thanks.
I am afraid of the running bamboo being too close to our fence and eventually trying to crawl into their yard. However, I do not want to spend thousands of dollars on expensive boutique evergreen 🌲 trees. As you can tell, the length of the fence is at least 500 ft, unless I could find a very reasonable supplier.
We did plant 60 eastern white pine saplings along our fence, but I’m afraid it will take forever for them to grow.
We need privacy.
Just last night the neighbors had their truck running without anyone in it and left the lights on, shining directly into our house’s windows and it woke my 8 month old baby.
They need to be blocked. Asap.

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!
