Raw Materials The Base Of All Products

At the very beginning of every product on the shelf today. There has to be some kind of material to make the products with. Bamboo plants are quickly becoming one of the most used raw materials on the planet. And if you grow bamboo you gotta be happy about this.

Options! Options!


 Because what this actually means is that. Bamboo growers have many more reasons and options when it comes to what they do with their bamboo plants. Exciting for me because I now know if I can't sell plants. I can sell the raw materials to manufacturing plants to make bamboo products. That fires me up because I grow 40 different species of bamboo and have been growing bamboo for 16 years now.

What Does This Mean To Me?


Well it means that I will have valuable building materials. Valuable plants for sale. And building materials for my own needs. Which bamboo is good for many different reasons around the house. With product that keeps replenishing itself year after year. I will have an endless supply of these materials for sale and for my own use. For many, many years to come. It takes a few years to get your bamboo grove going. So if you're thinking about starting your own grove get started as soon as possible.

The Future Of The Bamboo Industry

  I think you already know about the advance of products being made from bamboo. But what you might not realize is how many different products are being made from bamboo today. With that being said I could go on and on for days listing all the things made from bamboo.


But I'll just give you a few. Bamboo flooring being the top seller I believe. Because of the anti-bacterial properties of bamboo. people are not afraid to let their children play on bamboo surfaces. Bamboo cutting boards are another one because of the anti-bacterial properties they won't hold the germs like regular cutting boards do. Kitchen utensils are also another great selling product. With wooden spoons and wooden forks that are all safe to eat from.

  Bamboo is literally changing the way the world looks at things. Because of its ability to replenish itself quickly it can be used over and over again unlike a tree. It produces more oxygen than a tree 4 times as much. Plus it just keeps producing more and more canes each year. If you only cut 1/3 of your grove each year it will replenish itself in one year. If you cut more than 1/3 you will hurt the strength of the grove and the canes will be smaller the following year.

I for one am taking advantage of the growth in the bamboo industry. I grow 40 different species of bamboo. Running and clumping. Timber size, medium screening sizes, and ground cover bamboo for borders. They have striking colors that really stand out. I love all of the bamboos but my favorites are the giants. Its amazing to watch these giants grow to 30 ft tall in 2 months. For More Info on Growing Bamboo Check out Hardybamboo.org or Gabelmans Gardens Blog
