One of the big advantages that I see on my layout is that I don't have problems with neighbors cats or dogs. They know better than to stick their noses in where they are not wanted.

No Thanks;  Prickley Pear Cactus is just a little too invasive for me.  It starts as a slow spreader, but I've had problems in the nineth or tenth years of it bursting through the sod at fifteen to twenty feet from the main plant.  The fruit is most delicious, so I guess it has its trade offs.

FREE CACTUS PLANTS

If anyone would like some free Cactus, drop me an email. I have way too much and am running out of room.

I live in
Northern Ohio and they love the climate. For the price of shipping, usually less than $10, you can have some beautiful yellow blooming cactus. Very easy to plant. If you have area's that you want to discourage animals from visiting, then Cactus is what you need.

Regards,
