Because they were hotlinked from a Facebook page and the link is no longer valid. I remember FB changed millions of urls some time back. Maybe just to save bandwidth.

Pity lost and founds thread seemed interesting.

Earl where are you.?

I'm growing bamboo, a variety of specie. One of is the fence line bamboo.

I got much of my info from these guys in CM

Baan Sammi Bamboo Garden ? ??????????????? ? Boonthammee Bamboo Garden ? ??????????????? ?

TY Earl will get wife to ring tomorrow.

If you have the time, Yaso....you might experiment with assorted varieties of bamboo - start several side plots to see which one might fit your liking and design plans.

There are thousands varieties of bamboo, most of which will propagate well here in Siam, for a score of uses.

Well, can't have everything encased in a perfect little package, can we?
If one has snakes - deal with it. Avoid 'em and they'll avoid you.

A trench along both sides of a row of newly planted bamboo will stop it from spreading across to the fields on either side of the row.

Bamboo's a surface feeder, won't grow more than 2 ft or so or so deep, nor through a water filled trench.

Something like this? Hedge Bamboo

^ Lovely fence

This prolly requires hard plastic fencing up to 70cm deep to avoid the wild propagating...
