Running bamboo
Our timber bamboos are running varieties. We have planted them on an island. On two sides are streams and on the others trenches (that often have water in them) that we dig each year. As a back up the sides with trenches also have stock.
We keep the sides very steep and as the rhisomes only go down around 30cm we have managed to contain them so far.
Our neighbour who has a running bamboo has managed to contain his with a drain on one side and well timed stock rotations on the other.

Rocket stove
Before the mid-winter bonfire this year we built a rocket stove for hot soup and grapefruit and honey tea.
