Destroy it!
I call it Devils grass. It is very hard to confine and even harder to kill. It took me over a year of pain staking work to remove.

You have got to keep the stalk up against the stop plate near the handle. If you don't the blade will chatter all over the place.

Good luck! The more you cut it the more it grows! Get a backhoe & dig it out - even that won't work cuz down the road it will still grow back!! In the future selectively plant native (Fla) screening plants and manage those - much easier and looks good too! Good luck!

It does work if you hold the bamboo

He needs to get a helper to hold the piece that is being cut (use safety eye ware and Gloves) if the bamboo moves he will not be able to cut it |

cutting bamboo
A circular saw works very well. Hold the guard back , start the saw and cut, goes thru like butter!

I've had "miniature" bamboo for 5+ years(like the kind you see around in The Villages landscaping) and am very happy with it. It really hasn't spread at all and I keep it trimmed to about 5 1/2'. I cut one of the bushes down to about 1 1/2' and keep it like that very easily. I use a hand pruner to cut it and have no problem.

Cutting back bamboo—a dilemma to be solved
Try a cane knife or cane machete.
