For those that want it, there's a bamboo plantation over by all the public farms now. Initially I tried to replace the sugarcane in the automatic farm with bamboo, but the ones that sprouted grew very slowly, and most not at all. I tried tearing down a tree farm in 13topia and planting a field of bamboo, but they only grew to 6 blocks tall... literally all of them. Conclusion: these things are super sensitive to light, and need it not only at the base to grow, but all the way up. So, I just planted a bunch over the kelp farm until I can figure out a good outdoor automated farm for these tall bois.

Note: leave the bottom stem block as you go choppin'

So it goes.
