Where to find bamboo ?

Where would a guy find some bamboo between DFW and Lake Texoma ? Thanks for any help.

Google up 926 Garza Ave. Dallas Tx.75216 It has a bamboo plot right next to the Church and the Pastor says you can have all you are willing to cut.

awesome, thank you, what is the preferred way to cut down, machete ? Also about how tall does this stuff get, thanks.

I would take something a little more than a Machete.We are talking about some serious BAMBOO.Hope you have a truck.

Oh I have a truck and a trailer, do I need a 16 or 20 foot trailer ? Do I need a chainsaw or will a hand saw work, thanks.

I use lopers

take a chainsaw,you will be thankful.

Chain Saw

Found all mine on local Craigs List for free.

What Fishbonz said,
stevens park \ kessler park is full of it. I ask one lady if she wanted her boo thinned out and she ask what do I charge. I have been back several times and knock and ay thank's first. I use lopper's and allways clean up.

I use pruners myself
but the monster boo would require much more of an edge
most folks consider it a problem plant and will let you have some if you ask

If you were going to suspend it off of a deep water dock how close together would you hang them, the slip is 40 feet long, sorry for all the rookie questions but I have never baited a dock before, thanks.

Bit of advise Please cutooff Square Cut at a angle its a Tire wrecker esp on atv if someone fall it can be bloody .esp after it dries...I lost several tires learning that

I use lopers and a reciprocating saw for the big stuff.

Ok I think I figured out how I want to make my bamboo attractors, I am going to take 4 24 inch long pieces of 2 " pvc and concrete them into a 5 gallon bucket at a slight angle, drill a hole through each one near the top, put a bamboo in each one, drill through the bamboo and run a wire through the hole to fasten, I will have also placed something in the concrete to tie to for suspending from dock, I figure by doing it this way I can just pull them up every so often and replace the bamboo, what do you think ?

I don't think you're going to want to pull up bamboo that's been soaking in the lake. If you want to replace, I'd just cut the line and let sink to the bottom and replace.

Yea it may be a chore to pull it up but I still may give it a try, wonder how long the bamboo will be good for ?

I use a battery operated recip saw with a pruning blade to cut it. I also cut it short to the ground. I think the people who allow me to cut their cane appreciate being able to mow over the stumps.
I put it in 5 gal buckets full of cement. About 35# of cement will sink even the large 1-1/2" bamboo. For smaller Boo I use large cinder blocks with the boo cemented in them.

Went and cut 40 bamboo stalks, got the buckets ready, going to sink them tomorrow, hopefully will be catching crappie in a week.
