How to Block Invasive Bamboo Roots (Rhizomes) the Easy Way!

If you have invasive bamboo roots (rhizomes) that get into your lawn and garden, I'll show you a fast, safe, fairly easy method to block them.
UPDATE: 2/11/22 - almost 2 years and the barrier is still working.
UPDATE: So far, so good. I added another 15' of sheet metal wall to other garden areas, and in the 4" margin between fence and sheet metal, placed tar paper over the dirt to block out sunlight. Bamboo loves sun...
UPDATE#2: The original garden box (the one seen in the video) harbored 2 or 3 rhizomes that I hadn't seen or fully removed, causing frequent, annoying upward shoot growth. I waited until the tomatoes and corn ran their course, and then dug up the remaining bamboo rhizomes. You CANNOT leave any remaining bamboo rhizomes, anywhere, or the bamboo will re-emerge.
UPDATE #3: 3 years now, and it still works. The neighbor's ridiculous jumbo bamboo still thrives on their side of the fence, and occasionally pops into my yard at the fence line, but has NEVER gotten past my sheet metal barrier.
