Anyone got any experience of getting rid of bamboo?
Made the mistake of putting some in a flower bed a few years back. Was told it was the clumping variety- they lied. Damned stuff is now popping up all over the place.
Currently trying to cut it down to ground level then dig it out, but it's hard work. Also spraying new growth with glycophosphate.
Am tempted to go nuclear and just glyco the whole bed, but SheWhoMustBeObeyed is not too happy with me starting chemical warfare in the garden.
Any thoughts / experiences?

James Wong says you can. eat the new shoots. Which may help you feel better about no weedkiller.
