You know how you can plant rhizome barriers to keep bamboo contained. What if you just raised the bed then plant the bamboo in it. Would that work????

If you don't understand what I mean when I say,"raised bed" please say so, so then I can farther discuss what I am talking about.

I get what you mean. You would just have to watch for rhizomes poking out of the sides. The first way they go when exposed to air and light is down.

I don't think that would work for running bamboo it has a tendancy to find a way of escaping. You would have to put in some type of containment.

Good luck,
