Excuse me? What do you have against delicious blackberries?

The plants are nigh impossible to control or remove. They're like mint; only plant it in the ground if you hate yourself and your neighbors :)

Oh man. My mother was a huge fan of landscaping with invasive species. This is also a place that has had a lot of local plants absolutely smothered by kudzu vine. Bamboo was going in right as I was moving to another state. Maybe it was a good idea to cut contract with her, I can't imagine it's been cheap or easy to maintain

Perpetual work. Sounds like a viable business strategy.

Bamboo is fine. Just dont plant too much, and cut it back. You’ll never pay for stakes or sticks again.
