Extremely effective if a bit work intensive. It was planted either in a row of rocks or longers. With the advent of steel wire, modern barbed wire adapted the effectiveness of their thorns and replaced the living fences of the old days. Poor places for wildlife - barbed wire fences - but good at keeping cows in. I doubt that the French brought many plants here for ornamentals or "wildlife habitat"! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
