peer agreement (net): +1root barrier Explanation: Roots can be a problem with bamboo. -> "Bamboo makes an ideal garden plant and grows quickly to provide privacy and beauty. Many designers and contractors are nevertheless hesitant to recommend bamboo to clients unless a root barrier is installed." http://www.lewisbamboo.com/barrier.html -> "The running bamboos are spreaders. These species need room to grow. Don't plant them in tiny spaces unless a root barrier is installed." http://www.bamboodirect.com/bamboo/info -> "Root-proof barriers A vertical barrier will stop rampant roots invading from next door. Dig a 30cm (1ft) deep trench and bury the barrier. The best material to use is damp-proof course (DPC), available from all builders' merchants." http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/htbg/module6/preventing_weeds...
