Bamboo water pipes
Bamboo has many uses in our homes, such as for poles, gutters, furniture and mats. Yet not many farmers cultivate it and usually it just grows wild. Bamboo can also be used to make excellent low-cost water pipes.
Use straight, freshly cut bamboo poles for pipes as they are less likely to split and the nodes are easier to remove. They should be at least 7cm across at the small end.
