not gonna lie, knowing how fast bamboos grow and how healthy they are etc. I think they would be an amazing inclusion to many buildings around, we need some wood and greens in our very grey cities after all- even better if living trees, although the last one is a bit too much and fantastical and that is why I would support that lol (check out green roofs though, they are viable and amazing)
My childhood home got bamboo all of a sudden. It was everywhere in the backyard and such a bitch for my dad to cut down. They’re like underground vines, snaking around as well.
omg!! I have a flat roof and could potentially pull of a green roof! thanks for sharing. I’m gonna learn a little more about how that would affect the structural integrity of the roof and my insurance. I love the idea though.
that would be epic c: Solarpunk stuff is really cool, also check out perovskite new gen solar panels- they are more efficient and cheaper than silicon solars and just came out to market
I appreciate the consideration! I absolutely will not plant any bamboo on my roof. I was more thinking about how to plant it in the yard, and the roof would be more for just grass. However, now that I think about it more, I’m wondering if I the benefits are worth me risking the integrity of my house and carrying a lawnmower up the ladder every time I need to mow 😆
Please, please do not plant bamboo on your flat roof, dear lord, it would rip it to shreds.
Bamboo is so “sustainable” because it has a frickin out of control growth rate root system and invasiveness. yikes!
Pots only! until you see just how devastating it is first hand!
what to heck? bamboo is epic then lol, that is interesting
and it also looks super cool! bamboo is one of my favorite plants. I’ve been thinking about how I can incorporate it into my landscaping at home.
Dont do this if you have neighbors
Bamboo spreads at a ridiculous rate

Is it easy to direct its growth though?
