Hello Sir
Before planting bamboo seedlings, test the condition of your soil, particularly for acidity. Bamboos grow best in slightly acidic soil.
Planting bamboos should follow recommended specifications, particularly with regards to spacing.
Bamboos are drought tolerant and resistant to insects and diseases. But it may be that the variety you are growing needs special care.
Bamboos take about six years before you can have your first harvest, which means you would have to wait that long to earn from your investment. And capital outlays are usually big at the start. After the first commercial harvest, however, cuttings will be done annually and could continue for 50 years with only maintenance required on your part. An internal rate of return for a bamboo plantation is 31%.
