Maybe you can use the bamboo as biomass, like the stuff from wooden pallets.
You keep the windows so clean in the excavator. That makes my OCD very happy. Haha
I would say spending time with Dad and learning about the equipment is an Awesome thing
Nothing says I'm here forever like bamboo!!!
Right!?
Or Japanese Knotweed. Mulching it will make it spread. You need to burn the stalk and roots. Or use a needle to inject herbicide into the stalk.
Fun to watch. What would also be fun to watch is when your sons or daughter can run the ASV while you are running the excavator. Get your Mini Me's working for you.
Bamboo with an excavator is easy to remove, roots only go down 36”. Once it’s all dug it’s done. There are bunching varieties that don’t spread but nobody ever uses them.
First thing , Happy Mom’s Day to Jodi ❤️🙏🏻❤️, hey Levi! 🙋🏼
Once cut down flat it has to be mown each year before the new fronds break out, for 5 years, so that the root ball and rhizomes lose the ability to re shoot from their stored energy. Failing to mow before regrowth puts you back another 5 years
Glad to see your back! I stay in Scotland and love watching your videos. You make it all look so damn easy 😅 all the best John
Awesome job Jon! Take care and I’ll see y’all down the road…Upstate Brush Control Crew rides again!!!
That`s a lot of fishing poles you trashed for the kids, heehee, they had to be 40-50 foot tall, I hear it can grow 4-6 inches a day, that`s insane how it takes over, it`s thick, be well John.
The boys were out the other day with me and made several fishing poles :)
You would think the neighbor would want all their bamboo gone simultaneously. Theirs is just going to encroach on your customer's property again.
They might be using the bamboo as a fence.
Hi John & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks John & Friends Randy
Great job Jon!
Good luck in Wyoming. Bring plenty of warm clothing. My husband and I were there in 1976, looking at the college in Cheyanne in the beginning of August. It snowed before the school opened three weeks later. It’s always windy and the bush was only a foot high.
Enjoy your time there. Summer is short. 😅
Thank you!
You got to get rid off the roots as the stems don’t multiply like those roots
God bless another great video Happy Mother Day to your wife keep does videos coming
Thanks so much!
If you plant it in the ground you need to ring it and I believe it should be 3-4 foot down. This is depending what kind of bamboo it is.
Good to see another video. Glad you reached 80K subscribers.
Us too! Thank you!
There're companies that makes toilet paper from Bamboo, because it's fast growing. So, whenever I see Bamboo on here, I'm always thinking of TP.
I have Bamboo towels and sheets. And just got briefs the other day. And don’t forget the wind chimes
Big skid steer with a good heavy duty grapple rake works really good.
I had no idea bamboo was so evasive.
Oh, it's terrible.
That dozer doesn’t give a s***! 🤣
Best way I’ve gotten rid of it is to dig out 18-24” of dirt and get rid of it. Hasn’t come back in a couple years knock on wood
Yikes! Bamboo is a mess. Good job. Best wishes.
You're right about that bamboo! I've got a slew of it just a little south of you, and it's a nightmare to combat. And all because some idiot years ago thought it was pretty! I tell folks all the time that these invasive plants are no different than someone pouring used oil out on the ground. People will say that it's their land and they have a right to plant whatever pleases them, but point out that they can't control that plant.... and they get real hateful all of a sudden. Right now, I'm dealing with bamboo, privet, nandina, creeping charlie, wisteria, and english ivy. All of them are seriously invasive, and every last one of them was brought in by some idiot who thought they could do whatever they wanted. I've got nothing good to say about them, obviously. ;)
How about a root rake on the dozer?.......drop it in about 6" or so and start rolling and raking the root system out of the ground . Just thinking out loud.
The biggest luck in these circumstances is, the roots of bamboo is low in the ground and does not go so deep.
Greedings from Austria 👍
What type of grease you using bud?
Just saying after using the mulcher,wouldn’t that would make a good time to use the ruckus rake and see if that might be an option to use.good video as always.just keep doing what you do best and carry on.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
That's a lot a fishin poles!
Those bamboo rhizomes and runners spread so danged fast so don’t let them get too far ahead or it will be a huge nightmare!
Saw a guy in England make a video of how he "contains" his bamboo. He's one of those afficinados that loves all sorts of invasive plants, and felt perfectly fine bringing them into the local ecosystem even though he knew they were horribly invasive. To show how good a caretaker he was, he had to dig a 2' deep trench around the bamboo so the rhizomes had an air gap they had to jump. And then every year he had to not only clean out the hundreds of feet of trench, but also cut off any rhizomes he spotted poking out through the trench. All that work just so he could have what he wanted, and not a care in the world for what would happen after he was too old to maintain the controls.
That really is the only way to break the cycle, though. I'm looking at having to trench around about 1/3rd of an acre of bamboo just so I can stop the spread. Then I can get in there with saws and cut it all down. Maybe. I've had people tell me you can use herbicide designed for woody plants, but you have to get it to the leaves which are 20' or more overhead! Got me looking at drones for spraying the field like they do out west, that's for sure!
You see bamboo. I see bean poles because I need bean poles. I also see what you mean by invasive. Wow.
I also 1st thought many useful things can be made from bamboo & that cutting & selling it could pay for fight against the roots.
Yeah, try the root rake to it maybe!
Bamboo and wisteria are like a vegetation cancer.I don’t know why people think it’s a good idea to plant it on their property.
Because, that’s ya opinion LOL
Maybe they want to impress an Asian friend, i guess???😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Learnt that wisteria is a devil plant the hard way.
It climbed up the side of my house and lifted roof tiles before I got it under control at a big expense.
Never again.
Do you mean kudzu? Wisteria is pretty and smells amazing.
@@HappyHarryHardonWistera, although nicer looking than kudzu is still just as bad
Hey John if you have any advice for a new guy I'd be grateful. I still work 40 hours a week at a Milliken plant and the mills are dieing off I'm just try to start something. I'm afraid if I just take the step out I could take food off the table for my kids.
The mulching world is expensive to get into.
Oh Your Boy clear the Drivercabin from the Excavator, and You give Fat the Machine. A short Talk, and the pull out from the Bambo beginning. This a Work what have not a End. Then the Roots from Bambo go deep in the Earth, and the little Roots beginning a new Plant to building. Weather the Mulching is a good Idea??? I think not. The best the long Pole to harvest and to Work up. A very good Material for the Plant supporting ! But You Work what is the Order. 👍
It spreads like a weed.. and it has tubers in the ground.. get those up, or it'll spread and grow back..
Never ceases to amaze me how people thought Kudzu was a great thing, now its Bamboo, how stupid can we get?
What gets me is that people never learn. Kudzu was bad, but it came around after the Chestnut Blight was introduced and killed off a lot of our eastern forests, completely changing the culture of America. Then it was wisteria, english ivy, creeping charlie, bradford pear, japanese honeysuckle, privet, holly, nandina, and a host of other plants. The list is nearly endless, and you can still buy most of those plants at home centers near you! Stupid, and greedy!
👍👍👍
Great videos and job quality as well as the raising of that young man. The hardest part of raising boys is learning how to be a teacher as well as a father!!! I have to stop watching when you are in the ASV because the constant refocusing of the camera started giving this old fart a headache. It stinks what old age does to us but it's better than pushing up daisies I guess 😜
How can you get rid of bamboo I tried getting rid of it
You have to pull it up by the root to completely get rid of it.
I was wondering, for jobs like this, do you ever talk to the neighbor and see if they want their land done also or does the neighbor ever come and ask to have their land done also?
I don't typically speak with the neighbor, but often times they come over and talk to me. I usually have other work lined up I need to get to.
Bamboo .... wisteria's evil step child.
Looks like fire wood 😂
❤👍
I bet cutting that bamboo is hard on the mulcher blades.
Bamboo is crap, and you have to actually dig it up and burn it Jon! It’s very aggressive multiplying and growing! I don’t have any but I have bananas trees and they multiply but they are easily controlled!
Happy Mothers Day Jody.
Thank you!
Root rake on front of dozer would help…imo,peace brother…
I want to buy me a Upstate brush control hat. Where's the online merch store?
I've got gray and white, pink and gray, and one green and gray left upstatebrushcontrol.square.site/
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was a lot of fishing poles. 😊
I HATE BAMBOO. Getting rid of it is more trouble than people realize
It's so useful, shame to destroy it.
Hi buddy
Hey
Wisteria, Bamboo & Kudzu very EVIL plants.
Ugh, they will never get rid of it.
Nasty Stuff
Why would you bury it, in a flood plain it could travel for miles. BURN that invasive weed.
DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON JOHN BUT I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING,,IT'S ALL BLACK,,,,
Sorry about that! Have you tried watching it again?
surprised no one harvesting them for garden stakes , weaved panels .garden furniture ect , guess they rather buy imported bamboo , but i under stand your there for land clearing work
There's a lot more to it than it seems. Aside from the demand, which is minimal, it's almost impossible to do something so labor-intensive in America because the customers just won't pay for it. Given the options, the customers will always go with the cheaper option and we've made our business environment simply too hostile for small businesses like you're suggesting to be viable here in the US.
