Hi Steve,
Most nurseries that sell bamboo also sell containers to grow them in under
ground. I haven't seen these containers but apparently they vary in size
and will help keep a running bamboo in check.
If however the bamboo gets out of hand and is indeed palatable to cattle,
well the cows would then seem to be a pretty good control mechanism. I know
that in Texas our great cane forest along the Brazos river was decimated by
cattle.
