Grow Your Own Home Security System

D.I.Yankowski
by D.I.Yankowski
Home security can be as complicated as a big, expensive security system or as simple as some defensive plantings to discourage burglars.
By landscaping with thorny, thick, or intimidating shrubs, you can actually decrease the chance of a home break in.
When burglars are seeking entry, they scan all the possible means of entrance.
If these are ringed by sharp foliage and thorns, the thief will likely look elsewhere.
Below are our top picks for defensive plantings, valued not only for their bite, but for their hardiness and full-season interest.
