Free bamboo
For all those with a vege garden who need to stake their climbing plants like tomatoes, beans, peas etc I have an abundance of free bamboo if you would like to come and cut some for your needs. I also have some giant bamboo as well for those who have larger projects to satisfy. It all needs to be cut so it is still green but in this weather it dries out quickly. I do not want to cut and stack it on site as it makes an awful mess. But it sure beats buying it at the garden centre. It comes in all lengths and sizes. Just choose what you would like and take it. But bring your loppers with you!
