I knew a woman whose yard was invaded by bamboo from her neighbours yard. Cost her $25000.00 to get the stuff dug out, a barrier put in place and her entire back patio redone because it was made of paving stones on gravel. Don't put bamboo in if it can get into someone else's yard.
Occasionally, but I don't usually remove dead culms unless I need them for a fence or garden stakes. My grove maintenance usually consists of removing weed trees and cutting back growth from the perimeter to maintain the desired footprint.

I agree. I'd also say if times ever got tough and she needed vegetables, "Go and eat your stones."
do you do any groove maintenance I.E. cut out dead culms?
