Greetings, wise Permies.
A friend of mine (and pre-permie gardener) has a neighbor erecting a big gross structure that spells the end for privacy or sunlight in her home, so Im hoping to install some bamboo babies along her fence in hopes of... hiding her house in a few years time.
Thus!
We reside on the Sierran foothills of Nevada County, a a definitive Mediterranean climate. The fence is southerly, so the fellows would be exposed to the north a bit.
My plan is to dig an bed along the fence, and Ill probably hire a clumper for the deed since this is a suburban area, but Im wondering if there are specific sorts that would grow taller faster? I don't anticipate the poles being used for anything structural, so thin bushy poles would be great. There are a number of clumps Ive spotted around town that are happy to be here without assistance so Ill probably bota-nick and install some of them, but as this is a lengthy process with a potential ~recruit on the fence, I wanna get it off the ground the first try.... and I don't know crap about bamboo.
Thoughts? Naysayings?
