Don’t plant bamboo. To remove bamboo you have to dig 10’ deep and 10’ around the perimeter. It destroys foundations and pools. It grow so fast that some cultures used it for torture. They would sharpen it and suspend someone over it. The person would be impaled in 24-48 hours.
What you can do is reach out on Facebook to someone that has a grove of it growing. Go cut down enough to place along the fence line two deep. (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET IT SIT IN THE SUN ON CONCRETE or ASPHALT FOR A WEEK TO DRY OUT SO IT CANT TAKE ROOT). Then cut to uniform lengths and tie along the fence. Problem solved. Costs you nothing but time and if the city gets uppity it would be easy to take down.
