Many of you know that I have gotten into Bamboo. I did some research on their care and maintenance and thought I would share my findings. I posted it on the Education and Info page of our website. It is a compilation of several different guides. If you have done any research into bamboo, you know that many are passionate about their particular theories and beliefs and I have tried to compile the most common understandings.
If you missed or want to revisit Tyler's presentation, it is saved here:
Just testing out this improved feature of our website. If anyone has any comments, please feel free to chime in. Share Info has been a great tool in the past and hopefully, it is even better now.
FYI, all the old posts were brought forward with this change so we shouldn't have lost anything. If you notice anything weird, please let me know.

Current Water Quality
Toxic algae has returned with longer summer days and higher water temperatures. The bloom will likely continue through the summer, fueled by phosphorus release from the sediments in the deeper parts of the lake. A sample collected on June 7th had an anatoxin concentration of 242 ug/L, which is well above the recreational contact guideline for the Department of Health of 1 ug/L. Therefore, avoid contact with the lake water; keep children, livestock and pets away; if eating caught fish, clean them well and discard guts; be aware of symptoms of toxic algae poisoning (skin and eye irritation, gastrointestinal and neurological issues, potential liver damage and other serious health problems). The County will continue to sample the lake for toxins through the summer. You can see the results here: https://www.nwtoxicalgae.org

Nicely done! New to sharing comment, and maybe too wordy in my first trial. Pete's club fly-tying course yesterday instructed by Carl was great! Hope to entice a Coho with the Starlight Leech on upper Skagit tomorrow. Ron
