Transporting Bamboo

Post by philinshelton »

This is the most unusual vehicle (that I have seen so far) used for transporting bamboo, so I took some pics of the loading etc. There are 8 pictures total

Phil, your groves look really healthy, do you think that is due in part to your technique of pressure washing the rhizome systems? :wink:

In the 3rd from the last picture (the first with the orange towel) is that a grove of Atrovaginata in the background? - I see the triangle thing there...

Brad, I only use the pressure washer to dig the bamboo, so I think the health of my groves has more to do with my unparalleled prowess as a bamboo grower :wink: . As for the "triangles", that's the "henon that didn't shoot" I talked to you about.
