Controlling non-clumping variaties of bamboo will be as hard or as easy as how you do your set up. Bamboo spreads by means of undergrond runners called rhizomes that go everywhich way, pop up out of the ground and produce what is known as a culm. This is the base of the new bamboo shoot. To stop this, most bamboo gardeners use a very tough kinds of rubbery plastic that the bamboo will have a hard time growing through. They tend to go down about three feet deep, with the sides sloping out a bit, and line the sides with this plastic. The bring the plastic up above ground level and often lay it on top of bricks or wood to keep it from flopping over. Usually, and by that I mean only most of the time lol, the rhizomes will hit that plastic and start upwards along the plastic and pop out of the ground. When you see these new shoots coming up over the edges, you just crack them off.
With that said, you have to think about the level of work you'll need to do, the cost of the plastic and the fact that sooner or later your bamboo will become rootbound in its enclosure and will have to be thinned out...NOT a happy time lol. Imagine a pot that is filled with roots as hard as wood!
If you're willing to do the work, then I say go for it. Bamboo is such a wonderful and fast growing plant. Some species send up twelve or more shoots a year from each main plant...they grow so fast that you can actually see the difference from day to day! And if you're a gardener or crafter, cutting and drying it out makes for great working materials....you can even eat the baby shoots!
