Comments (10)Galvanized metal troughs work perfectly...until the bamboo inevitably gets rootbound and starts dying. Then you have a large container of sickly and dead bamboo that weighs hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pounds. Because of the dense woody structure of the rhizomes, it will be impossible to get the plant out of the trough without destroying the container. It will be nice for a number of years, but just be prepared to deal with the predictable consequences. I have a friend who went even further. He bought a large, steel, cylindrical tank for containment, and buried it in his backyard. Fast forward several years and he then had a container of roots and dirt and dead bamboo that weighed so much that there was no way he could excavate around it and lift it out of the ground. So now he has a 2' diameter cylindrical area in his yard where nothing will grow....See MoreWhy bathmats are BAD for bathtubs!
Comments (9)Anglophilia, are you saying that you put it on the side of the tub, say, every morning, then in the evening roll it up and put it away to get it out the next morning? What is the benefit of this? Three hours in the evening of not looking at the mat? I’m not being facetious. I don’t like the way it looks, either, and hate drips, so I got a clear one. It dries out even in the tub during the day—I pull it up and set it down loosely, which helps it dry better. You don’t see it then. My husband would never replace it if he was first in the shower—he would shower with the door open, first, entirely oblivious to flooding the room. Which is how he destroyed our first bathroom....See Morejejvtr
