I am far, far too cheep to pay for fences around the land I plan to look for. There is the whole upkeep bit as well.
Plus I'm lazy.
I did see a post about an elven spite fence. Long story short, they planted a row of fruit trees and flowers to piss off a neighbor. Useful, pretty and awesome.
I am thinking of just planing a row of poplars and willow around my property. Both plants grow very fast in my area. Poplars seem to grow any place and willows are great for wet areas. I wouldn't even need to spend money to start them because I can gather poplar seedlings at home and get willow cuttings while fishing.
They would also be good crafting supplies for me. This could save me money in the long run.
The only draw back is I consider poplars weeds because of how fast they spread. Willows have a shallow root system and rot fast. I don't know if they make good mulch but I will probably find out.
For a mid-high plant/bush I'm not sure what I would do.
I am rally leaning to letting a climbing rose grow free around the trees. Maybe in the front area I will. Then I think for the back areas I'll try to get wild grape vines going.
I might even set up a few fake bee hives to keep people away... And maybe I'll get lucky and bees will move in also. :3
