15 feet Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier

Super heavy duty!!!! No roots shall pass!!Used on two projects1. I have in ground raised bed 3 ft from fence where ivy was growing. The roots completely invaded the raised bed even through couple layers of garden cloth. I dug trench 34 in deep from top of the bed to block any roots2. I have small above ground raised bed that had weed blocker cloth underneath but the roots made a holes and got through the cloth. So I put this under it so the bed is sitting directly on the bamboo shield.

Its a great product. Its thicker that I expected which is great for bamboo barrier.

I got this barrier several months ago right before the spring/summer seasons. I have a large bamboo grove right behind my yard. I have lived at this house for about 2 years now and every season prior, I was fighting off the bamboo from creeping into my backyard. It was a constant DAILY battle to chop and dig it all up. The species has the very fast growing underground "runners" for roots so it spreads very quickly. I surrounded my entire backyard in the barrier (roughly 225 feet) and it has held strong the entire time through the spring and summer growth season. No sign of bamboo growth in the backyard. I did have a slight oversight... My back yard is a giant hill and the barrier is set at the bottom. The water drainage of my yard has been an issue because I essentially blocked all water flow underground.. I will more than likely have to install a sump pump to be able for my yard to drain and stay dry properly. the barrier works great! Just be sure to plan ahead for any water drainage within your yard.

When the neighbors send their bamboo, they're not sending their best. They're sending bamboo with lots of problems. This is a tremendous rhizome barrier. It's a great, great thing to have if you're building a wall. And I'm building a wall, ok folks? That I can tell you. A big, beautiful wall that no illegal bamboo will get through AND THE NEIGHBORS WILL PAY FOR IT! Well, they haven't yet, I did. That's not a problem. I have lots of money, ok? Believe me. You don't need my tax returns to know that. I am the evidence! It's a lot of money for some thick plastic. It may throw the budget out of whack. It's not just plastic, kind of like vinyl. Like a record. What happened to records? I liked them. I have a great record collection, by the way. Every Michael McDonald and Pat Boone record. I like Sinatra too. I hear the hip young people are collecting records again. That's good. They love me, the young people. It's true.

I have been buying products from Lewis Bamboo since 2012. The barrier works well at protecting one's yard from "invasion " I have found it thick and durable. The issue is not the barrier but the installation most times. I have had rhizones jump the barrier (grow up outside the barrier) in a few places but it was due to how the barrier was installed (tree root in the path of the barrier, etc ) that caused the barrier not to be as secure. I simply checked the area outside the barrier twice a year and could easily cut the rhizomes and stop to growth. The bamboo was relatively easy to maintain with good installation of a great barrier. Lewis Bamboo was great in providing a lot of instruction on installing bamboo.Very pleased with my investment in a living fence

This did the trick for my raised bed, but you are in for a hard job getting it into the ground. It did the job but getting it into the ground was the hardest yard job I have ever done.

We bought this to try to contain the bamboo that has marched across our lawn and is now getting in the area by our inground swimming pool. Last year the bamboo pushed the liner out of its track and we had to drain the pool, reconnect the liner and then fill the pool again. I never want to go through that again. We have high hopes that this bamboo barrier will work! I wish I had done it sooner.

This actually controls bamboo roots & shoots. 80 mil would be better, as in full control if installed properly (a couple of places online provide good guides for proper installation, like Bamboo Garden nursery in Oregon). But the 60 works if you keep an eye on clipping any stray shoots each year. Very helpful to have such a variety of lengths available.
