Hide your neighbor for ever.

A good friend was heart broken because his favorite bamboo was giving up the ghost.

Shame, I thought that his bamboo was as thick as a toothpick and obviously it was undernourished and skinny.

So today I will show you the fat and well fed bamboo that we have here and how I wish that we had this size of bamboo in my youth. We used strips of bamboo to build the frames for our kites. If we had this size we could have built a Boeing airplane. But I digress as usual and let me show you where the bamboo grows.
Come and see.

A lovely open yard to grow tons of bamboo.

I saw spiders as big as rats here below. But, I had to walk this in order to console my friend's heart with the bamboo shots.

Finally it was time to go home.

So I have gone out of my way to please my friend and am also considering to send him a packet of the giant bamboo seeds. Mark my words, if he plants a fence of this stuff he will never see his neighbor again. Unless of course his neighbor hires a helicopter service to visit him for a chat.
My friend is a very inventive chap so I am sure that he will try mooning a helicopter if it appears above his place.
@meesterboom aka Boomy, we grow things big in Africa :)

You could build a house with that stuff! I think your climate is a little different to Scotland where 'Boom' lives. We have a tiny bamboo in our garden that just never grows very fat or tall.

I was teasing the scot my friend and yes, bamboo is very climate based. We are lucky to have a Mediterranean climate over here.

If you make a boing from this bamboo, invite me to be the pilot, I have a license to fly a kite buddy.
Is this long and fat bamboo given fertilizer to thrive there?

Right you will be the first on my list.
No fertilizer, the bamboo grows very big in the Mediterranean climate here.

Hola qué tal saludos desde Venezuela... Cuando mire la primera fotografía, inmediatamente pensé en mi infancia, cuando con el bambú hacíamos barriletes o papagayos... aquí se les llama así para usarlos con bolsas y colocarlos en el aire a volar.. Era mi hermano el menor que se atrevía a introducirse dónde estaban las cosechas de bambú, porque a mí me daba un poco de temor... Qué bueno que estás ayudando a tu amigo a tener la posibilidad de unos bambú más fuertes, o una buena plantación de lo los mismos... Hay otras cosas que se hacen como casas y sillas.... Hermosas las fotografías.

Hello, how are you, greetings from Venezuela... When I looked at the first photograph, I immediately thought of my childhood, when we used to make kites or parrots with bamboo... here they are called that to use them with bags and place them in the air to fly... My brother was the youngest who dared to enter where the bamboo crops were, because I was a little scared... It's good that you are helping your friend to have the possibility of stronger bamboo, or a good plantation of the same... There are other things that are made like houses and chairs... Beautiful photographs.

Mediterranean climate here on the bank of a river is an ideal situation for their growth.
First time that saw them I was stunned as we don't have the big bamboo up north in the country.
Strange how the climates change in different parts of the country.
I think Scotland is all one climate?

I am considering trying to grow bamboo in earnest. I need some special place prepared for it, though. Any advice that you can give?

There are many tips on growing bamboo on the internet and I think that climate is the most important.
We are lucky here as we have a Mediterranean climate, but you can also consider a hothouse.

Try this one and others like it.

I hope that you will win and have a !BEER

Jack and the beanstalk tall, was looking at a patch today that was still healthy, growing as it has done for ages close to the river.

Short sojourn around the villages taking in sights checking river quality, fisherman on the river said it's still a no go!

Good to grow to keep privacy around the home 😇

We went to the local nature reserve as it was now opened again after the fire. Heartsore to see the black wastelands that were covered by all kinds of protea bushes before. Unbelievable destruction took place.
The good thing is that nature always restores itself, but this time it is going to take a few years.

This country needs a wake up call with regards to the soiling and poisoning of our rivers. Things will get very bad here adding to all our other problems.

Bamboo can certainly boo the neighbors 😁

When not bush fires, building fires, fashionable to burn, burn, burn....

Hopefully soon the protea and fynbox revive with rains coming in.

Rivers of filth are disgusting, so the show goes on!

Fire is seen as a weapon, but instead of curing the problem of unemployment and service delivery, it adds to it.

Terrible damages that will take a few years to recover, as so many trees and bushes were critically damaged. The good thing is that nature always recovers.
