Developed by researchers from China's Northeast Forestry University, the bamboo plastic can biodegrade in soil within 50 days and offers a pathway towards sustainable plastic alternatives.
It has long since become a problem for every neighbor that borders their yard. I’ve been digging the runners our of my yard since we moved in 8 years ago, and I’m about ready to spend ~$10k on remediation (burying a wall that the roots can’t penetrate).
It is not native and grows out of control where I live. It takes over acres too densely for anything else to grow.
Some grow through rhizomes and often people plant it without doing their homework now the whole neighborhood has bamboo and it’ll push though pretty much anything in your garden. Even clumping varieties can cause soil issues or push fences
