Welcome to TGO!

It's scrub ground with  a lot of bad, weak trees that keep falling. I have already had permission from management totake out about 6 trees over the 13 years that I've been here. They need something to hold the bank there so it doesn't slide down the hill onto their buildings. I'm only talking about maybe 1 ft across the line and if I put in clumping bamboo that would be perfect. Thats probably 30 ft from any useable land on their side. If you could see what I'm talking about you would understand that is not going to be a problem. Now if it were the running bamboo then thats a whole nuther story!

Welcome to TGO!!!

I'll see your dollar coupon and raise you a dollar!

Post a question about how to find out on their Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/#!/Ruger?fref=ts I had some luck with this type of thing with other companies. No one likes for others to see negative issues so I've found that they will answer pretty quickly.

I did a search but did not find this posted already. http://www.wate.com/story/21420579/gunfire-exchanged-during-knoxville-armed-robbery-police-investigating Seems to me that once again a store manager has made a huge mistake and chased after a robber after he left the store and then shot the guy. I'll be interested to see what all of the facts are in this since the news report is pretty vague. It looks like the manager could be in a lot of trouble himself!

The place that I'm thinking of planting is not actually on my property! My back property line backs up to the apts that are on Apache Trail that can be seen from I-24 and Haywood Ln. The picture below isn't that good but it shows my privacy fence, then a row of 12 year old Leyland Cypress trees. They have been a wonderful screen but in the last couple of years the lower limbs have been dying and thinning because the trees are shading themselves and causing the die-off of these lower limbs. Last summer I decided to trim the lower limbs off enough to install the wood fence. There is also a chain link fence between the privacy fence and the trees. The bamboo would be placed just behind the tree line on apt property. I believe that as long as I get the correct type, like what PapaB has, then all will be fine. I just want to fill in the gaps left by the thinning branches. The picture isn't that great but the apts are too visible for me.

Thats not my problem! I would probably leave instructions on how to deal with it. the clumping style doesn't seem to be a problem and thats the only kind I would get.

Think I may take a little drive out to Almaville! There is a video about how easy it is to keep some varieties of bamboo under control.

Thats why I'm hoping to get more info before I do it and also make absolutely sure that I'm getting the clumping style and not the running kind. Hoping that someone here actually has the type I'm hoping to get. I would NEVER plant the running variety! Be nearly as dumb as planting kudzu!

I would think that if the Zoo has it then it's legal but I'll call to be sure.

Garufa I don't believe that is an issue with the clumping variety. I've been watching this house that I mentioned and it doesn't seem to have spread much at all but has gotten thicker. The other thing is that I'm planning on planting it on the property of the apt. complex behind me. When I look out off of my deck I'm even with 3rd floor windows on the back of the closest building so there is almost a 2 story drop-off just past my line and quite a few trees. It will be borderline as to whether they would have enough sunlight.

I'm thinking about planting bamboo behind my back property line. There are clumping kinds that are not as aggressive as the "runners". There is a house a couple of blocks away that has some and our winter weather doesn't appear to have any effect on it. It stays green all year. I stopped one day to talk with the resident and to my surprise (no, not really!) they are Mexicans and could not speak enough english to get any information from them. I'm wondering if these can be grown from seed easily and then plant the seedlings or if I should just stick the seeds into the ground with some fertilizer. Surely someone here has some information on this and at the very least someone has recently stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.

Got my TGO stickers today and now proudly displaying them around town! Looking forward to getting these "Shall Not Be Infringed" too!

Are they back open now?

Got mine! Thanks David!

Racing isn't what it used to be but I'm still a fan. I watched some of it but had to leave for work before the finish so I DVR'd it. I'll be at Bristol in 3 weeks.

Never looked at either site.

Real deals are a thing of the past much like common sense and honesty in Washington.

Seems to me that every forum I've ever been a part of has this in some form. Always a handy feature!

Great memories!

Welcome!!!

Back to the topic, I've bought a couple of guns from Impact and never had any issues with them Even if the current market has them overwhelmed they sould still be answering their phone s and emails. That's not good that theyt are ignoring their customers and I will think twice before ever considering them again!
