Bootstrap show whitespace in rows/columns

Question

I have a situation in my web page where items in a row/columns setup (based on bootstrap) shows white space where it shouldn't. Please refer to this image:

It's a container div, with a row div and then a whole bunch of columns (to be exact: col-lg-4).

The vertical white space between 'Millenium Gold' and 'Midnight Oil' should not be there.

I don't think it's that important, but I build the page using React (i.e., Javascript).

I hope anyone can shed some light on this.

Thanks!

Here's the console output for this page:

It's inevitable effect of float: left CSS property value that is engraved into every col-• classname of Bootstrap 3. See this Codepen, or just try this code:

and

.big-and-tall {
  width: calc(100% - 20px);
  height: 500px;
  margin: 10px;
  background-color: green;
}

.big-and-short {
  width: calc(100% - 20px);
  height: 200px;
  margin: 10px;
  background-color: red;
}

.big-and-kinda-tall {
  width: calc(100% - 20px);
  height: 300px;
  margin: 10px;
  background-color: brown;
}

The problem is that "big-and-kinda-tall" element would like to fit somewhere under the "big-and-tall" but preceding element restricts topmost boundary of the former with its bottom line.

You could either put every triplet of cols into a separate row, or you could use Bootstrap 4 that relies on Flexbox rules: see how it would look like in another Codepen.
