Fiberglass rebar for garden stakes?

If it's legal where the OP is bamboo is great.

If you can contain it.
In the DC area there is usually someone begging to give it away.

I'd rather plant Himalayan blackberry, easier to control even with birds working against you

There's a lady nearby who gives away bamboo yearly; it's cut-it-yourself but at least I don't have to worry about it getting loose in my yard

The problem in more urban areas is that people plant it where it just can't be properly controlled. There is nothing worse than bamboo as a property line screen. I can see why it would be regulated.
In lieu of fireworks, for my yearly burn pile I throw a bunch of mature bamboo on the pile... Sounds like a shotgun when those chambers let loose.

I was wondering if fiberglass rebar might have a coating or formulation that avoided the splinters and fuzz. Looks like it doesn't.

Thanks for all the comments.
