yes garden seems to work!
In answer to the bamboo question - I can't think it would be much of a problem in using it but I'm sure other more knowledgeable folks will be along soon!

well I washed mine and scrubbed it, then soaked it in a bleach and water. Then I scrubbed it again in boiling water. Then I baked in the oven for 20 mins at full temp. Then to be extra extra sure, I wiped it down with the disenfectant I use when cleaning the vivs  |

With plant material my disinfect routine goes for a 12 hour soak in milton (baby bottle sanitizer) then a 12 hour soak in tap water to leech the chemicals back out, then a half hour in a 120 C oven to kill anything left and to dry it back out.
Probably overkill but I'd rather be safe than sorry |

| Just give it a wash and stick it in. I would dry it out first though to avoid any bits of it going old and squishy. |
