Grow Pyracantha up your wall. It looks good, grows fast and like it's
popular name (fire thorn) suggests, is really very, very painful when
it's thorns prick your skin. I can personally testify to that

I will look into pyracantha. There are currently some very stunted (im
amazed they are even alive since the soil is more like clay and full
of big rocks!) rhodedendrums along the inside of the wall. I was going
to move those and fit trellis or similar up the inside of the wall so
i get to look at something nice.


Get a few sacks of horse s**t from the local stables and make yourself
a compost heap at the bottom of the wall. Gives the scrotes something
soft to land in (LOL!) and can be used to improve the soil too.

Get some prickly hedge trimmings and add them to the compost heap and
there's a good chance they'll draw blood and give them a nasty
infection.
