temporary bamboo planter

temporary bamboo storage in raised planter box. for temp storage fill with compost or well-aged wood chips.  run 2 x 4's vertical with two levels of ropes to keep 'boo from falling over in the wind.  bamboo will not grow down and out and because of compost will not need to be dugout when replanted.

if no temporary planter available simply lay down your freshly harvested bamboo and cover the rhysome with compost or wood chips.  add fresh water over rootballs and compost or chips will retain water.  there will be some minor blight on the leaves, but they will bounce back quickly.
