I looked around the net, didn't find enough information to tell the difference between several varieties. Man, some types are expensive! Would love to have some of that Japanese Timber Bamboo, 75' tall and 6" in diameter.

Greetings, Which bamboo please?  Did you use the culms or just the stalks on the  leaves?  I am planting a bunch of different bamboos this year, a real  education, but fun. Bright Blessings, Kim  Spaceman wrote:   

I just recently mixed a load with bamboo leaves and stalks. The no-tow  behind mixer handled it pretty well, but didn't make it as small as I  would like, leaving fibers several inches long in the final product. It  looks like the pc will be good and strong when it dries. It is in a  4x4x1 block that will take a while to dry.
