Bamboo in Garbage Cans

• Use large garbage cans (cheap, green/black) as containers.
• Buy largest, fastest-growing bamboo from a nursery (not big-box stores).
• Bamboo grows quickly, provides screen.
• Containers prevent spreading.

Arborvitae is another option but slower. Bamboo in containers is the fastest, lowest-cost solution.
