Comment on: Growing bamboo at the farm. (0)
Feedback score: 1 (*) +|-
The bamboo I used in the US gulf coast was called Moso, and it grows the full height its first year. After that its fibers get stronger each year.

Maybe the type of bamboo you have at the farm is a "clumping" verity which doesn't spread like the "running" rhizomes.
I'll look into what kind grows in Uganda, and what would serve best for building. Could someone find out what kind you have on the farm and in the area?
