Whew. Been digging out a bamboo infestation out the back fence. God this is hard work. I can only do about an hour a day before I feel like I might be stressing my ticker a little too much. I hate this weed. A year ago the neighbor and I cut down the stand, which had popped up out of nowhere. Then began cutting the culms that tried to come up and putting herbicide on the stubs all year this year. Manageable to do this for the couple of years it'd take to kill off the whole system, but the roots are not dying fast enough for me so I started digging them up. 🥵

I've been continuing my bamboo digging project since the weather's warming up, and made huge progress today. I've now got all the roots that I could find. And just in time too because some of them were already beginning to sprout new spring shoots. God. What a chore. This is a multi-year fight.
