Bamboo: pruning and how to prevent proliferation?

[phil53]

Following intensive feeding according to the recommendations of Didier, I have bamboos (which I thought were golden bamboo) that become giant.
So in view of the size I plan to eat.
I broke and peel 2, it's super soft.
I saw that they should be boiled 2h, suddenly it cooled me a little, it's a lot of energy.
Then I found another track, the fermentation but I did not find how to do it.
Do you have an opinion, an experience on this subject?

Well shit so !!!!

[Bamboo is a grass, botanically; therefore a "grass"; there is no reason why it should not benefit from an improved system!]

My second edition ends with a drawing where one of the two lazy people is in a firecracker because there is no diagram to make a deckchair! I propose you to make a photographic diagram of a bamboo lounger for the PS of the third edition !!!! In Asia, they do scaffolding!

If you do not eat them, with bamboo you can also get started in these projects:

A priori taste is worth it, unless you have to boil 2h. From the energy point of view it bothers me.
Otherwise it is comparable to asparagus from the point of view of use.

No experience except bamboo shoots in a box. ;)
It seems that it's not worth the fresh ones http://www.lemanger.fr/index.php/prepar ... de-bambou/
2 cooking hours are to eliminate the natural pesticide that protects against insects

Be aware that all edible species without exception are stuffed with a cyanogenic glucoside, taxiphylline. Cyanogenic glucosides release hydrocyanic acid, an extremely toxic substance, by hydrolysis. It is found in apricot kernels for example, cassava or sorghum. Bamboo shoots contain amazing concentrations of taxiphylline. The good news is that it quickly deteriorates in boiling water. After scalding its bamboo shoots 20 minutes, we get rid of 70% of the toxic substance. After 2 boiling hours, they do not contain any more. If a slightly alkaline solution is used, it is even better, as for example the rice washing water, loaded with starch.

You know if the palm heart has the same problem of '' taxiphylline ''?

It can be consumed raw, so no particular toxin and taxiphylline is a Cyanogen specific glycoside bamboo https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoside ... stribution

About the fermentation, I found nothing for bamboo, but for cassava, which also includes a cyanogen, soaking for several days, greatly reduces toxicity http://www.fao.org/3/t0207f/T0207F0c.htm

Could we use ground bamboo as mulch equivalent to hay?

Miscanthus is the same kind of less invasive https://www.rustica.fr/articles-jardin/ ... ,3599.html

Bamboo is very woody and probably very poor (unless used in the juvenile state), nothing like hay ...
