Grgfinney grow 2015 (3rd year)

[Brown Thumb]

Was Bamboo Shoot a 'sucker monster' for you? I am loving how it is growing, but the suckers at this early stage make it "high maintenance".

Mine are only a little over foot tall and they are suckering like crazy also.
They don't snap off real easy either.

Looks like you worked you butt off.
No marker cups this yr.

Got to get them early morning or late evening, when the plants are standing full pride. They break right off.

New pics from this weekend didn't get any more mulch down I got distracted by the free maple on craigslist

 

[DGBAMA]

It looks like the plants with mulch are the happiest, unless that is just different varieties.

 

[grgfinney]

They were bigger going in the ground and they went in a week earlier,I expect that the others will catch up we'd hen i get them mulched in and fertilized

How do you mix all of this together? I would like to try it. Do you only use it when you transplant?
