However, the I3bar pops up at the bottom of my screen - opposite the Lemonbar - but with no content except workspaces. 

 My status command is just 

    bar {
           status_command ~/.i3/lemonbar/i3_lemonbar.sh
       }

Shouldn't I only have the Lemonbar, or am I doing something wrong? How do I get rid of i3bar?

Thanks

Remove the entire bar block from your config, because a bar block starts an i3bar instance. The status command only defines what data to feed to i3bar, but you want to remove it altogether. 

Instead, just start your lemonbar script via exec.  </description><pubDate>Sun, 29 Nov 2015 13:57:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7497/lemonbar-with-i3-original-i3-bar-pops-up-on-the-bottom-hide/?answer=7499#post-id-7499</guid></item></channel></rss>
