Another thought- I know many master gardeners who would love to have bamboo. You might consider offering to your local group? They might even be willing to help cut and haul.

> I have not done this myself but, I have been told that shredded Bamboo makes a good surfacing material for trails/paths thru woodlands as they do not break down as quickly as wood chips. Notice I said shredded not chips of Bamboo as when you try running Bamboo thru a chipper, it cuts it into long shredded pieces rather than chips. I myself have cut and removed Bamboo within our park system and I found this out after the fact about the use of Bamboo on trails. DO NOT use any rooted materials as they will take root; only use the canes and leaves. Good luck with your search.
