My name is Phil Comer, and I created the Bamboo Bits and Pieces blog to share information about growing bamboo, and the people that grow it.   I have been growing and landscaping with bamboo in western Washington since 1997, so I have learned a lot about using bamboo as an ornamental landscape plant.  In my Bamboo for Beginners page, you can find answers to some of the  most frequently asked questions by folks new to growing bamboo, and tips and advise that will help you make your bamboo experience a success.  Growing bamboo in the temperate climate of western Washington is what I know most, but who knows what other bits and pieces of information might turn up here?  Leave comments and suggestions, and I will do my best to provide you with the information you need.  To contact me, please email stikinmud@comcast.net
