    seriously go up to the bamboo plants that you know of in the area, and take one full bamboo shoot and cut them up into segments making sure you leave two nodes on each cutting (meaning two growth points or rings), and simply plant each cutting to a depth of 100mm and make sure they are horizontal and soon you will have the same plant as your neighbours.
