From what I see in our area, anybody who plants bamboo is eventually nearly overrun with the stuff, so it can't be hard to grow. If it was more "controllable" I'd try it cause I like the look of a small row of bamboo.
From even small couple inch long cuttings, even one section of a live bamboo stalk can be cut into multiple short lengths, each will grow roots if kept moist, then planted. Or if you have access to longer stalks with some leaf on it to look nicer at start-up, just plant and keep the root area moist. I bet you could shove cut stalks into the ground and if kept moist, they'd grow and spread like crazy.
To somewhat limit uncontrolled overgrowth, consider a pet panda bear.
