Nothing really holding the culm in place but gravity and ~3 feet of steel post in the cavity, but it seems to be fairly stable for a 6ft-7ft culm - anything more it might be too wobbly. Anyway, culms just touch the ground, never into the ground, and I'll probably keep mulch in between them and the soil. Hopefully this extends their useful life for at least a couple of seasons! Those posts are cheap and the method was pain-free. |
Good idea! If you are worried about making the bamboo last longer, try painting them after they are dry.
