Bamboo Plants

      We were planning to take out our pave driveway and replace it with the same tiles in our walkway that is going from our deck to our recreation room. We wanted to make our backyard look bigger by simply extending the tiles that we have right now. But we changed our mind because it's expensive to replace our driveway and it's still in good shape. We were thinking of something that makes our backyard nicer instead of extending its look.  One option we had was putting short fence as a boundary between our driveway and our backyard but we were doubtful because we needed something to hold it on and we did not want to put holes on the ground and destroy part of our driveway nor our tile walkway. Instead, we decided to buy plants and put it on a big pots to distinguish where our driveway and backyard ends. We ended up buying four pots of bamboo plants at Lowes and four light-green big pots at Home Depot. It's still expensive and yet we were happy with the result.

     Not only we like the bamboo plants where we put it now but once in a while we saw small birds chirping and gathering dead leaves probably to make their nest in the nearby trees. We did not realize when we first got the bamboo that it needs a lot of water. Every other day we needed to water it because the leaves are wilting especially  we're in summer season and it's very hot once in a while. Bamboo really makes a good border if you choose the right kind. There are two growth habits of bamboo namely: Clump and Running. Clump means the roots will stay near the base of the bamboo plants while Running spread out its roots all over the place reaching up to few feet.
