It has been said that it is difficult to suppress bamboo (bamboo shoots) with conventional weed control sheets. However, the "Take Guard Method" by Shirazaki Corporation has made it possible to suppress the growth of bamboo (bamboo shoots) from above using a specialized sheet and special pins. Why has this become possible? Let us provide a brief introduction to the secret. <Contents> ■ The reason why bamboo (bamboo shoots) grows quickly ■ The reason why the Take Guard Method can suppress bamboo (bamboo shoots) ■ The condition of bamboo (bamboo shoots) under the Take Guard Sheet

The bamboo guard method is a technique that suppresses the growth of bamboo (bamboo shoots) from above. However, in some cases, there may be a desire to suppress not only the surface but also the underground bamboo roots. In such cases, we recommend using a 2-meter wide bamboo guard sheet folded in half and installed in an L-shape both vertically and horizontally, referred to as "underground root prevention." In this particular case, the pathway facing the slope where bamboo is growing is not paved, which posed a risk of bamboo (bamboo shoots) emerging from the pathway if the underground rhizomes invaded. By adopting the underground and surface installation (L-shaped installation), we have ensured the pathway's safety and reduced the risk of fallen bamboo from the slope. *Excavation will require heavy machinery.

In the past, with the materials and methods used, when there were significant unevenness or height differences in the pavement joints, the strong grass joint sheet would float above the pavement. Additionally, it was difficult to adhere, resulting in poor workability. However, by changing the materials and methods this time, it has become applicable even to joints with unevenness and height differences. Furthermore, using a roller for pressing has improved workability. Previously, we used adhesives and sealing materials, but now it is possible to achieve both adhesion and sealing with just "Adhesive D-Touch." Additionally, the process of spreading the adhesive on the sheet with a notched trowel has been eliminated, leading to a reduction in tools and less mess when applying the sheet.

The bamboo guard method is a technique that suppresses the growth of bamboo (bamboo shoots) from above. However, in some cases, there may be a desire to suppress not only the surface but also the underground bamboo roots. In such cases, we recommend installing a "subsurface root barrier" by folding a 2-meter wide bamboo guard sheet in half and setting it up in an L-shape both vertically and horizontally. The case we are introducing this time is based on a consultation we received stating, "Bamboo growing on the cliff along the river, which is public land, has invaded private land and is causing trouble, so we want to block not only the surface but also the underground roots." We proposed the bamboo guard method's subsurface root barrier. *Excavation will require heavy machinery.

As a measure against weeds, weed control sheets are utilized in various locations. In particular, the sides of roads are one of the places where weed control sheets are often used, as overgrown weeds can obstruct the view of drivers and pedestrians, creating a danger. In areas with snowfall, when introducing weed control sheets along the roadside, there can be issues such as snowplow buckets snagging the edges of the sheets or tires catching the edges, causing the sheets to tear and become damaged. As a countermeasure, one method is to lay down the weed control sheets before asphalt paving and cover the edges of the sheets with asphalt during the paving process. This is an example of using polyester weed control sheets, taking advantage of the property that polyester has a higher melting point than asphalt (approximately 260°C). *For detailed construction methods, please contact our company.
