Looks like a suet birdfeeder.
How on earth do you "control" bamboo? I have heard that is even worse than kudzu. |

Trench and install a root barrier -- usually heavy galvanized sheet metal or concrete or they even sell barrier material specifically for bamboo. The trench needs to be about 30" deep. |

Yeah, that cage thing is a suet feeder. But it ends up feeding the squirrels more than the birds...
"Controlling" bamboo is a nearly impossible task. There are some underground concrete barriers throughout my yard that keep the bigger stands from getting out of control, but in the spring I have to go out there every few days and cut down the new growth. Fortunately the new stuff is very soft and easy to get rid of--sometimes a weedwacker will do the trick--but it grows FAST. We're talking multiple feet per day. |

I saw this same shed outside of Saigon in '72 and it housed a family of 6 comfortably. It was also in a bamboo forest. |

said by PSWired:Well, forest might be a bit of a generous term, but it's a ton of bamboo! Lots of work to keep it under control in the springtime.
I know how that is, I can't seem to get rid of it. Never plant bamboo or english ivy without a containment vessel in place.... |

Annapolis, MD | Oh, funny you mention the english ivy, I've got tons of that too! Even roundup takes several rounds to kill it. |
