I am most interested in Graham's idea for bamboo in garden pots. I have been unable to source a copy of the magazine in shops. I have a west facing beach residence in Western Australia, only meters from the beach, and need to know whether the bamboo would be OK in this situation and also its name. Our home is becoming very water conservative - water-hungry plants all gone. Please,Can someone assist. M
