I agrree withh Akula....if it were me I would raise them now. you don't necessarily have to build the raised beds right away, you could just build planting mounds at the eventual raised bed level, bring the plants up a bit, and build the raised beds around them as you have time.

Like Akula said in a previous post, basjoos are pretty darn tough plants, but I would do it sooner rather than later while there is still growing season to develop the root structure.

Trenching around running bamboo is my preferred method of spread management too...works great and is easy!
