NEVER buy a property covered with BAMBOO

[Matthew Paul]

Lessons learned , I bought this duplex for a great price , yard all overgrown and about 1/2 acre of 40 ft tall bamboo . I just spent all weekend with a rented tracked skidsteer loader with a monster bushhog cutting this bamboo down and grinding it up . it was more than my kubota's bushhog could handle , I still have at least another day with a york rake to clean up and pile the stuff up .At least I can pile it in the back of the lot , it would fill about six 40 yd cans .

The fun part was this skidsteer and bushhog ripped thru the bamboo and it would grind up 4 inch saplings , I knocked over a couple trees roots and all came up .
