Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

Jamaica has a problem with the bamboo-borer,a very small bug,that tend to infest the bamboos after it is reaped. . Along with the fact that the quantity igrown in the wild is not considered able to sustain a profitable industry.
It would have to be farmed like forestry, and the bug will have to be dealt with.
Jamaica has a lot of dying and dead cocinut trees,but they are simply left to rot. that would be a good industry to look at.

For the pieces that we did decide fi chap dung last winter dem mek nice fencing poles fi the kids dem.

Mi a plan by next year when we a expand de fence and due to town requirements we haffi have a full view fence, fi use it to mek the fence extension pon de side fi de town requirements, get more rhisome barrier, fi go lay pon de fence border and plant some more bamboo along de no privacy fence fi privacy.

We have bamboo floors in our former family room (mi madda new quarters) and when we a replace de floor we will use more bamboo flooring.

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

Well maybe I have the wrong impression. It seemed to me that we grow a lot of it. These were just my impressions, driving around Jamaica. From this thread it seems that we don't grow a lot of it anymore. But surely given the climate and the global interest, there could be a way to deal with the bug and make this a more sustainable product. I don't know anything about agriculture, I am just more curious than anything.

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

I see KIA, so you primarily grow it for personal use and to make some decorative items. Do you sell them?

you may be thinking of China. i don't think Japan has a lot of wild animal life - it's similar to Jamaica that way.
