/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>95072
I have two ideas for simultaneous security and food. Both involve growing plants in the Mojave desert along your fence. Both provide edible fruit with medicinal properties. The second your bees can use to make honey; the first you can use to get high.

Low effort, low protection: Prickly pear cactus. Big enough to be an obstacle. Doesn't give a shit about it being the Mojave. But a guy with a truck can crash your party.

High effort, high protection: Blackberry bushes. Will form a tightly-knit mass of brambles ten feet tall and ten feet wide with no structural assistance from you. A hardy weed/invasive species, it should survive if you use your greywater and sludge to fertilize the soil.

Pic related, its the prickly pear. For blackberries, google them or think back to the brambles from Donkey Kong Country.
