Bamboo is a tropical grass and is one of the fastest growing plants on
the planet!
Benefits of growing Bamboo
Bamboo has an extensive root system that grows on average four to six
new shoots a year — meaning it naturally replenishes itself and is
considered one of the most renewable resources on our planet. It grows
vigorously without the need to use nasty pesticides or fertilizers.
Bamboo provides an abundance of usable oxygen — making it a crucial
element in the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in Earths
atmosphere.
Plus, Bamboo can grow in almost any climate - it can
tolerate cold or tropical climates.

required by cotton.
