    Oh, almost forgot, bury the bucket a few inches deep to keep them from blowing over.....only use half a bucket for the dirt/manure mix....then fill it with quickcrete the rest of the way when you get ready to sink them.

    Not all bamboo species is as aggressive as others. So, if you do some research, you can find some species that will pretty much stay where you put it. I personally think hardwood brush will do everything bammboo will and it is easier to find.

    I cant add anything about growing it but living here in Ga. I can tell ya anyone that has it wants to get rid of it. All I have to do is ask and I can get as much as I want, and it's everywhere here. People have tried digging it up and burning it out, all to no avail. It's a spreading nuisance to most landowners that have it on their properties here. Right now I have permission to all I want and can cut a truckload in half an hour. It's completely taken over her back yard except for the driveway which goes around her trailer and she only has a front yard left (she rents).

    "with tail between the legs" I'll reply. Take this thread for example. No one even acknowledged anything I had input. It was like I did not post at all....untill I started to boo hoo a bit. If yall don't want ideas from a traveler, just say so, but ignoring or at least not saying something back....even if it was a stupid idea, makes a person feel left out and not wanted. Guess I'm just wanting someone to say "havn't thought about that", or "I tried that and it just didn't work"....anything for a reply. Down where I come from one of the worst things you can do to a man when he says "Howdy, or How ya doing" is not say a thing. As grandpa would say, "must been a yankee". Not that there is anything wrong being born on the wrong side of the Mason Dixon line, but it is (in my opinion) kinda rude. Nuff said, dug my hole, throw some dirt in on it and I will hush!

Just don't know the laws on shipping containers of shoots all over the country. Me.....I have retired twice and do not want not wish for another carrear.

    OK OK nuff said. I apoligize.....guess I was just having a pity party. Will post thoughts and ideas and not worry about it. I know that there are a lots of post out there that are helpful and some that do not warrant posting. Will remember what my grandpa allways said "Boy, you keep them feelns out thar on a stick, and somebody's gonna come along with a chain saw". Smart ol man he was too.

    Arrow Dusty ....

    you might get more/better responses by posting on the state board where you live/fish ... and on the main message board. This board, "Crappie Structure", may not be checked out by the majority of the membership. It's primary function is to give people a place to discuss "one" aspect - placing structure.
    By the count - you've only had one post that did not receive any replies. But, you didn't elaborate as to which "Columbia" you were talking about.

    Are you having trouble seeing the reply posts, or do you just think you aren't getting as many replies as you think you should ?? I don't think the members are ignoring you ... they just may not fish the same waters, or have the same knowledge base as you.
    Fastest way I know how to get recognition & credit with the members ... get on the Chat forum and join in the discussions, there !! .......... cp
