Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth. Bamboo can grow 24 or more inches in a 24 hour period depending on the climate and soil conditions. In the best of conditions, Bamboo can grow a whopping 48 inches in 24 hours. Holy Cow!!!! Giant Bamboo is also the largest grass in the world.
The bamboo plant has an extraordinary range of uses. Here's just a few: baskets, bicycle frames, bird cages, blinds, boats, bridges, brushes, buckets, canoes, carts, charcoal, chopsticks, clothing, cooking utensils, diapers, fans, fences, firewood, fishing rods, food steamer, furniture, garden tools, handicrafts, hats, incense, musical instruments, paper, particle board, pens, pipes, ply ,roofing, scaffold, tableware, toilets, toothpicks, toys, umbrellas, and many more!!!! It's hard to believe that all this can be made of bamboo!
Here are some bamboo home products that I have and are available in almost any grocery store and home/beddings stores.
Most of my office organizers/supplies are bamboo!
