It may work if you can follow the main runners the rhizomes digging the channels it has headed it could be 12-15 feet from the main plant .....then immediately put down a top quality thick ground cover overlapped pinned down well eBay will have this year get the heavy duty material, and metal pegs these oyster pearl gravel from the buliders merchants in big sacks .,...next spring plant nice hardy perrenials shrubs etc by. Cutting an X to plant also like carpet with your heavy duty ground cover plate a small off cut in a v to fit tightly around the plant pin that and replace gravel around the base of your new plants water in well with a pinch full of bone meal in your hole you make before planting ;)
Make sure you level of landscape the area to your liking once the Bamboos are crushed and the holes well for example in with top soil if needed etc .....

Access meant they couldnt grind all of it, but the majority, so will follow the weed killer advice on those left, and the small random ones that will pop up. But the mothership is basically soil now.

Not sure what you mean about putting a ground cover on whats left. Will that stop any remnants of the grinder spouting?

Dont want to sound thick, but if I cover an area of soil/ex bamboo with a heavy duty ground cover, plus oyster pearl, how can I plant anything without digging holes in the pearl and cover?

When you plant put a v cut piece of ground cover material tight around the base of each plant pinned down hard, and cover thicker with the oyster pearl gravel ;)
 

Under glass polythene tunnels & cold frames, etc it's time to set your mousetraps - Chocolate is the best thing on the trap not cheese they hate cheese- peanut butter they like too - do not put poisen down that's cruel......
 
Great time of the year to take hardwood cuttings of shrubs plus trees ....9 inches long as thick as a pencil - bottom cut horrizontal, top cut on a angle all below a meat node using sharp secutears - insert the 3\4 into a sheltered border using a gritty sand in the bottom of the trench......remove all leaves carefully.,...next spring April\ May they will show signs of growth and roots then pot up.....
