Re: Peeing in the compost bin?
This is great! Now when I'm taking a leak behind the house, shed, or handy tree and the wife yells that we have indoor pumbing. I usually tell her I'm conserving water. Now I can tell her I'm composing.

Re: New bamboo owner
Well things have really taken off this spring. I have about 50 new shoots. Most are spaced out a bit, but one plant has many bunched up. Should I be thinning them out?

Re: New bamboo owner

They were transplanted last summer, watered regularly and 3 of the 4 seemed to be doing very well. One did have brown leaf tips from the start. I know I did see runners going out last fall when I ...

Re: New bamboo owner
What do I do this winter? We have a few wet snow storms every year. Are these going to bend over to the ground then spring back up when it melts? Or should I do something to help them out?
