I live on a farm where neighbors shouldn't be an issue. The bathtub is (Actually there are two) old junk that has been sitting there for years. One of them is a style that would be easy to build up a couple feet with brick. (which is also laying around) I'm trying utilize junk as well as clean up the property.. How tall do you think moso bamboo will get in such restraints? What else could I use as barriers? (I know they sell rhizome barriers, but free while cleaning up the property is preferred) I also have a few 50 gallon barrels that I was thinking smaller varieties could tolerate well..

Hostas? I had thought of planting hostas under bamboo, but thought shooting might be a problem. Were it something like H 'Undulata', who really cares, but if a shoot came up in the middle of a big, mature H sieboldiana, like 'Elegans' or 'Great Expectations', or some other desirable slow-grower, my wife would be most unhappy.

I would just bring the pot into your garage if you can, or your house. As the temperature gets colder, you may see the culms start to die, and becuase the plant is in a pot, the entire root system may suffer. Just watch the weather. If you think it is too cold, trim it down, and haul it inside.
