There are a lot of bamboo wind breaks around the banana growing areas...they grow so much that many are considered to be nuisances.

I would image that something like "curing" might have something to do with the wood...

It could be used in some ares for erosion controls...Hope Jaime David pick up onit..

Default My plantings......

Where are the banana growing areas, I have noticed the on the tourist road there is no erosion near the bamboo growth areas. Is there something to this. It is growing on steep mountain sides and there is no erosion in that area.
I have planted mine on a curve and have found out that the road is to be fixed and my crop uprooted. Well thats how it is here.

Don, interesting and informative topic, however, I find your English to be somewhat diffiult to understand at times, could you try to explain things a little more clearly/fully?

Exclamation i think

being up-rooted is self explanitory, no????
So, i bought the plants here, paid to have them installed. and now have been informed that the road is going to be widened,(sp. ok?) Have you ever had anything up rooted??? Maybe misplanted??? Didn't take fruit??? cut short.. etc. P.s. when the grader goes thru it will probably destroy my planting..

The phrases or idiomatic expressions you use sometimes don't seem to match with the context of the sentences. This causes confusion because the reader doesn't know if you have used these type of phrases incorrectly. I highly recommend that you quit using such phrases and or idiomatic expressions first because they cause your post not to be understood and second is that their improper use will get you labeled by native speakers as unable to communicate in English. I also recommend that you quit the habit of forming incomplete sentences without a proper subject and also capitalize as needed.

Chip: What you mean you no understand? Can bamboo hold Presidente? Yes = jobs. Can bamboo hold Brahma? Yes = more jobs. How about bamboo for cabana bed? big Yes = lots of jobs for Cabana be makers. Bamboo good. Bamboo for police stick? Yes, of course, but then bamboo not good.

Bamboo makes my head hurt = jobs for doctors / psychologists.

Sorry, couldn't help it...The devil made me do it.
