My new rhizome prunning device..

Well, It's new for me. Now is a good time to buy construction equipment. I bought this backhoe at an auction for a very reasonable price. I wish a had done it sooner- sure saves the back!

I think I'll have a knife blade bucket fabricated for rhizome pruning, and digging divisions.

Bamboo...Please note... This plant is seriously addictive and you may lose interest in other, less rewarding plants!

Hello All.
I was really forced into doing something labor saving as my back has begun to complain about all the years of abuse. We are constantly doing some sort of digging, hauling, scooping, planting etc, and on and on. Beth encouraged me to get it, and with her blessing I just bit the bullet. Mr.Mike just go on and get one you will never regret it. I'll just keep driving my 14 year old pickup for another few years. :thumbleft:
