Bamboo -- I don't know what to do about bamboo that has already
invaded a house. But if you add a root barrier, make sure it is
angled not vertically but away from the plant, so that as the rhizome
travels horizontally, it has to grow upward when it encounters the
barrier. If the barrier is vertical or angled the opposite way, the
rhizome will grow down (and then up again when it can).
