Bamboo on House and Garden

Better Homes and Gardens featured bamboo a couple of years ago.  This is the video of that segment of the show.  This is a good segment, and for those who are still fearful of bamboo, this should be of interest as it is a respected gardening program.

Now is the Hour for Bamboo Power.

I found this video - enjoy!

Bamboo Panties

The first bamboo ladies panties I found were at Target - plain, no frills, but bamboo and very comfortable and without the extra fancy bits, dried easily and were great for travelling.  Just not so attractive - practical, but not pretty.

However I found that BigW had more fancy ones, and they work just as well.  When you look for these in the stores, look for the green sticker (see on picture above), which indicate they are bamboo.  

There are other knickers on the shelves that look the same as these, but may not be bamboo.  You might have to look at the label  or the information at the inside back of the product to check that it is indeed bamboo.

They are a little more expensive than the ones in Target, but are comfortable and easy to wash and dry.  Still good for travelling.

Bamboo Keyboard and Mouse

I find it very interesting that there are regular advertisements in magazines and newspapers for innovative bamboo products and yesterday's Courier Mail's magazine QWeekend has on page 9, at the bottom a great little photo of a bamboo keyboard and mouse.

They are available from PureBamboo - at a cost says the advertisement of $119.  You can buy online at the website.

You will find on their website an amazing array of new products.  It is just awesome.

Tomorrow I am headed north to Australia Bamboo at Belli Park.  I can feel more photographs coming.................

Bamboo Books

I have a growing collection of books on bamboo - not just on growing bamboo, but novels with "bamboo"  in the title.

One is "So Far from the Bamboo Grove" - which I have written in another blog  Diary of a House  Sitter and Traveller.  I will write about the latest books on this site, as I read them.
