Treating Bamboo in

Your Backyard

Bamboo is susceptible to insects like termites, borers, the powderpost beetle, and even fungi. If not treated properly, bamboo products and structures will only last a few years before they are eaten to dust. But don’t get discouraged, there are many ways in which bamboo can be treated. In this article, we are going to talk about a special low-tech treatment option, the Vertical Soak Diffusion, or VSD.

This interview is with Elora Hardy. She is the founder and creative director of IBUKU, a Bali based team of designers and architects who make innovative structures our of Bamboo. Her work has gained international attention, for reconnecting human spaces with nature, and reminding us that a inspirational and hopeful future is possible.
