Hey Rick,
I agree that bamboo is valuable enough to let spread, if indeed it can even
do so without sufficient water. I recommend containerizing them simply as a
way fo folks to take their first steps with bamboo.
When we installed our gardens last year the owner didn't want any bamboo
within range of the irrigation system so we planted it in a major drainage
and seven out of eight plants didn't make it. It was a real loss at $33 per
plant.
