CrackersMcCheese pooh-bah Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2489	Mum has just been given some of those bamboo stick things - just sticks with whisps of roots.... do these get put in water? Or soil? And if soil is it marshy soil or just occasional watering? Cheers!

Us North Carolinians (OK, the rest of the Southeast US too, but we have the eponymous comic strip) know and love it. I've heard that 2 goats per acre will control it... -jk
