Bamboo Shield - 25 Foot Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier

I got this barrier several months ago right before the spring/summer seasons. I have a large bamboo grove right behind my yard. I have lived at this house for about 2 years now and every season prior, I was fighting off the bamboo from creeping into my backyard. It was a constant DAILY battle to chop and dig it all up. The species has the very fast growing underground "runners" for roots so it spreads very quickly. I surrounded my entire backyard in the barrier (roughly 225 feet) and it has held strong the entire time through the spring and summer growth season. No sign of bamboo growth in the backyard. I did have a slight oversight... My back yard is a giant hill and the barrier is set at the bottom. The water drainage of my yard has been an issue because I essentially blocked all water flow underground.. I will more than likely have to install a sump pump to be able for my yard to drain and stay dry properly. the barrier works great! Just be sure to plan ahead for any water drainage within your yard.

Its a great product. Its thicker that I expected which is great for bamboo barrier.

We bought this to try to contain the bamboo that has marched across our lawn and is now getting in the area by our inground swimming pool. Last year the bamboo pushed the liner out of its track and we had to drain the pool, reconnect the liner and then fill the pool again. I never want to go through that again. We have high hopes that this bamboo barrier will work! I wish I had done it sooner.

The media could not be loaded. I have a good size yard with bamboos growing on most of the 3 sides of the backyard. Over the last 20 years, I bought numerous tools trying to maintain the backyard. The chore was dreadful, tiring and discouraging. 14 months ago I finally bought 2 huge rolls and have them installed by the gardener. I bought the 24 inch deep rolls. So far it had worked except the joint between the 2 shields. I am very pleased and would've give it a 5 star if the shield is more durable. Be careful with your gardening tools as the shield is thin and can be damaged fairly easily. I hope they would really last a hundred years.

Use as directed, follow directions and it will work. It stopped my bamboo from creeping up the yard. Very happy with this...
