Cactus Fences


The Bonairians make the best fences I've ever seen. They use cacti uprooted from the desert and set them wherever they want the fence to be. The cacti take root and continue growing there. Interestingly, transplanting only seems to work if the cacti are uprooted during a full moon. No one knows exactly why that is, but one man thought it had something to do with the level of pollinating insect activity being higher during that time.
