Digging is the most straightforward way, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Imagine you’re trying to remove a buried trampoline—only it’s alive, angry, and full of roots. You’ll need a sharp shovel, a mattock, and maybe a therapy session afterwards.
Start by cutting the bamboo down to the ground. Then, dig a trench around the clump about two feet deep. Pull out every single rhizome you find, even the tiny white ones that look like angry spaghetti. If you miss even a small piece, it’ll sprout again like a horror movie villain.
I did this in my own yard once, and my chiropractor bought a new boat. Worth it? Absolutely. But only if you’re ready for backache and sweaty pride.
