Running bamboo travels through soil, and here that soil is chalk with flint under a thin cap, on distinctly steep Chiltern ground. Ground of that kind lets rhizomes travel a particular distance from the parent clump before anybody notices — which is why we walk the spread out rather than price what is visible from the house.
