I had the opportunity to harvest some tall bamboo sticks a few years back. One of the things we built with them is a structure for plants to grow up on.
Splitting them down the middle we used the reeds for the center and horizontal sections. The bamboo on the vertical outside is whole so it can be driven into the ground.
Using a brad gun we attached them with heavy duty staples using the air tool. The power had to be turned down so it did not shoot through the thin bamboo halfs.
The backside it's easy to see the halved pieces. They are still real strong many years later.
I think I'll make some more, they have really helped my rose bush, akebia and soon to be passionflower plant.
The climbing type Roses really like having a structure to grow on. Those bamboo trellis structures work great for that use.
I think I should leave it in there for the Roses. Seem like the kind that wants constant support.
The Akebia vine also has a support structure inside. It's hard to see from the front. But it's in there.
From the back the bamboo structure can be seen. I dont think I could remove it even if I wanted to. Its twined through that structure so many times over. Cutting it out would probably kill most of its leaves and stems. It's okay it can stay. I'll just build more.
