>>823563I delimbed my bamboo in about 5 seconds using a machete. It's the only blade worth a shit in the rainforest.
I'm drying out the leaves to use as mulch and compost. Hopefully I can get some seeds out of it too and start my own bamboo crop.
I'm building a wall with the bamboo on my northern edge. Theory is that I can make my land slope southward, giving me more surface area and better sun capture.
