I'm planting a garden this year. While shopping around for stuff my friend pointed me out to some lucky bamboo.
I live in the mountains of N.C. I see bamboo here from time to time so I was going to plant the lucky bamboo in my yard.
The card attached to the plant didn't say much and I wanted to know how to care for them, .....so I googled bamboo.
That was the last thing I remember before it became impossible to be interested in anything else.
Learning about bamboo that night reminded me of the night I learned about spirulina and chlorella.
So many good things it makes it a no-brainer.
At the end the night, I had to stop myself when I found myself looking for more land to buy.
I have .44 of an acre.
Long story short, after having googled myself up to a book smart beginner bamboo-ologist,
I had a better idea of what to look for. I don't think they're available here.
After more searching I ended up buying Moso seeds on eBay.
I have a wide hill going up in my backyard. I was planning on planting the Moso on the back hill. It's long, like a ridge.
I would like to learn the nature of Moso's propagation on hills.
Questions....
- Do the runners go mostly horizontal or is their first inclination to seek the surface?
- How would the runners act on the shallow side?
- Would could or should I plant them recessed into the hill?
- Would the runners growing into the deep side of the hill travel farther, perhaps popping up in the middle of my neighbors yard?
<Moso@20-30 feet away from neighbors yard, 12 feet lower> - Would the way the running type propagates on a hill make them unstable or easy to blow over?
- In what direction will they spread fastest? Uphill? Downhill? Laterally?
