Rhizome Barrier Manufacturers

[Booboy]

Is Deeproot the only company that makes it. Anyone know of any other companies. Its hard to compare prices when all I can find is Deeproot. And it isn`t cheap. $400 for a 300` roll.

Booboy,
One thing to consider is how much you need. The place I bought mine from had the material in 25 foot sections and I needed over 100'. That meant they had to melt it together at each seam. They told me it would be if anything stronger than the rest, but I ended up being a little disappointed. Some areas seemed pretty thin and the surface was not completely smooth (giving rhizomes something to grab onto). I ended up having quite a bit extra and put 3 foot sections in front of where each seam was.

At the time I saved money over the prices at bamboo nurseries only because they quoted me a commercial rate. I would get nothing thinner than 60mil thick, preferably 80 mil. I believe the place was called Field Lining Systems, but search for HDPE barrier or material. Please make public what you find. I would assume the only major savings would be found if you could pick it up locally. Shipping is very expensive.

The only place I know where to get 80mil is New England Bamboo Co.
I got my 60mil's from Tradewinds and Bamboo Garden in Oregon.

I'm sure 80mil must be very difficult to work with and extremely heavy too.

I never use berriers.. I want my bamboo to run like mad and attain max size quickly. The more it spread the happier I'll be!

A boo addict is easier to spot than a toupee.

If I had the room I definately would be inclined to let all the bamboos do there thing-take over the World...

King,
You really only need a bedroom, kitchen & bathroom. Guess for you, downsizing the house is next. Let me know if you want me to come over with my sledge. I love a good demo job

The use of barriers, is known to increase the culm size quicker than an unrestricted plant

[BooKing]

I knew there was a method behind the madness. Fatter culms..cool.
