Bamboo barriers do not work. Eventually the bamboo grows through, under, or around them. They break down in the soil and the bamboo runners invade. Running bamboo will devalue and destroy your property. Taking care of bamboo is an EVERY DAY job and bamboo barriers are very expensive!
If you plant running bamboo you better be ready for the expense of a bamboo barrier. If you don't contain it, it will destroy your pool, irrigation system, foundation, landscaping, and lawn. It can grow through concrete. It is impossible to get rid of it. Even a barrier will only contain it for awhile and it will eventually break through or grow around it. It will undermine your fence. One Golden Bamboo plant can spread 9.3 miles Nurseries only care about making a profit.

@GoldenArrow222 That's what anti rhizome barriers are made for... also as all plants bamboos require you to take care of them ;)
