If I was you I would use an 11 X 4 1/2' trowel, plastering with a brickie trowel is slow and tedious, they are not really designed for that kind of work. I would also get something to use as a platform for my plaster mix and have it risen from the ground. But hey that's just me, you do whatever you are comfortable with.
Bamboo sticks are dry and treated(borax as far as I know) and devoid of any nutrient for bacteria or fungus. They will therefore not rot. Most of the material you can see is Reed rather than bamboo.
The trowel used is not suited to this kind of work.

Bamboo lathing is not a good idea. What are you going to do when it (being an organic material) rots?
