Bushes?

[aldanfac]

Hi! I am looking for bushes to plant around the outside of my coop. I want to plant big bushes to keep predators from trying to dig, obviously if they really want to they will but I think some large bushes rooted would stop them from getting anywhere, anyone have a similar idea they’ve tried or bushes they know would work well? Or even any other ideas? I want to line the outdoor space of my coop with something, my other idea was rocks but I like the plant idea better, thoughts?

A 2 ft predator apron will stop them from digging and you don't have to water it.

Good examples of anti-dig apron installation.
