As the saying goes: it is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. Bamboo is a very common plant in the south, and it has been loved by countless people since ancient times, and many people especially like to grow it in front of and behind their houses.
But some people like bamboo, and some people hate it. It's not because there is anything harmful about bamboo, but sometimes, when they grow in the wrong place, they will be hated by people. So how can you kill bamboo quickly and efficiently? Here I would like to share with you two methods, both of which are the experience of our ancestors.
Why kill bamboo?
Bamboo is beautiful and practical, and it can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as weaving furniture. But sometimes, if the bamboo grows near the house, or in the yard, and some grows near the crops, that's not a good thing.
In the past, there was an old folk saying, "Planting bamboo in front of the door, being a bad person", which highlights that in some places it is not like to plant bamboo in front of the house and behind the house. Because in the countryside, many houses are next to each other, and the root system of bamboo is very developed, if a few bamboos are not controlled reasonably, it is easy to grow into a bamboo forest.
Once they are allowed to grow in large numbers, the destructiveness is revealed. The root system of bamboo is very well developed underground, and it still grows horizontally. It has a very destructive power. When bamboo is planted in the house, the root system will not only damage the foundation of the house, but also the bamboo root system can penetrate the concrete floor and even stones wherever the bamboo root system goes.
In this way, bamboo grows in people's houses and yards. I believe many people have seen that in some short videos, bamboo has penetrated the cement floor, and bamboo shoots and bamboo have grown in people's homes.
If bamboo grows near the crop field, it will be even more troublesome, and it will quickly occupy someone else's crop land and let the crop land grow into a bamboo forest.
And the bamboo grows tall and luxuriant, and the natural crop field cannot be planted with other crops. So in these cases, the bamboo is annoying and will find a way to eradicate it.
How can you kill bamboo? Bamboo also has "natural predators"
Although the vitality of bamboo is very strong, it also has natural enemies. The first one is that bamboo is most afraid of sesame seeds. I didn't know this before, because in the early years, a lot of wild bamboo suddenly grew in a crop field in my family, and my parents thought of a lot of ways to cut it down and grow it again soon after.
Later, the village elders told them that after cutting down the bamboo, they only needed to plant sesame seeds for one season, so that no more bamboo would grow later. After hearing this, my parents really planted sesame seeds in this crop field, and it really was, and no bamboo grew after that.
Using sesame seeds to deal with bamboo, this method has been used in the mainland for a long time, according to the reference information in the Yuan Dynasty, there are already documents that sesame can deal with bamboo. It can be seen that bamboo also has natural enemies, and sesame seeds are one of them.
It is worth mentioning that sesame seeds have an inhibitory effect on most grasses. Bamboo is a plant of the grass family, and I heard the old people say that the reason why planting sesame seeds can deal with bamboo is because sesame seeds are easy to provoke a kind of bug.
And this insect likes to gnaw on the bamboo tendons and the bamboo eyes that are long on the two sides under the bamboo head, thus causing damage to the bamboo, and the power of the bamboo is the bamboo whip, since the bamboo whip is destroyed, they can not reproduce in large quantities.
It is also very simple to use sesame seeds to make bamboo, that is, after cutting down the bamboo roots, ploughing the land, and then sowing a stubble of sesame seeds, which can effectively reduce the growth of bamboo.
In addition to this method, in the past, there was a simple way for the folk to "breed" the bamboo, which was to "captive" the bamboo and prevent the bamboo from growing out of bounds. That is, if you don't want the bamboo to grow in the yard or over the crops, you can use trenching to create isolation to stop the growth of bamboo.
The experience of the ancestors is that "the lotus root is not the bridge, the bamboo is not the ditch", which is also reasonable, that is, the lotus root generally does not grow across the bridge, and the bamboo does not grow across the ditch. If you want to cut off the bamboo, just dig a deeper trench as much as possible, and the rhizomes of the bamboo will not cross the ditch. It's so magical, and it's very effective.
Of course, there are many ways to kill bamboo today, but the above two are the most environmentally friendly.
After all, bamboo is a plant of the grass family, and there are many herbicides that have little killing effect on bamboo, such as glyphosate, cyclozione, etc.
But Xiaobian does not recommend the use of herbicides, it is best to plant sesame seeds, which can not only exterminate bamboo, do not pollute the land, but also harvest sesame seeds to extract oil to eat, as well as sesame leaves to eat, sesame stalks or the best firewood, it is simply a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.
