permaculture

[John Schinnerer <john@eco-living.net>]

Aloha,

How many years old are the culms?

What species?

If the culms are 3 yrs old or less they will not be very durable 
(relative to your climate of course).

If they are not a known structural species I wouldn't use them for 
anything structural unless it's a complete experiment and nobody will be 
at risk if it fails.

All I'm saying (besides 'give peace a chance' ;-) is don't put a lot of 
effort into doing something with them that they're not durable or mature 
enough for.  Find that out first and then dig through the thousand+ 
possibilities... :-)

cheers,
John S.
