Sure thing. A plant‑based fence can be pretty reliable if you treat each leaf like a little watchdog. Just loop the sensors so one plant’s data feeds into a backup from its neighbor. If a leaf drops a reading, the system will ask its sister leaf to fill in the gap. The trick is keeping the network tight—use a sturdy wiring mesh that doesn’t cut the root system, and put a quick‑action pruning tool on standby. If you over‑cable everything, the plants will literally choke on the wires, but a balanced mesh of sensors and natural redundancy will keep the perimeter alive and kicking.

Exactly, keep the wires short and the mesh light. Put a tiny relay on each sensor so if one droops, the next one jumps in. And yeah—set up a pruning calendar. If a leaf node dies, cut the backup wires fast and feed the system a fresh sensor from a nearby branch. That way no one leaf gets stuck in a loop, and the whole fence stays breathing.

Got it. I’ll lay the backup wires in parallel so the loss of one leaf is instant, not a relay‑delay. I’ll lock in a fail‑over schedule and double‑check the pruning log every month to make sure the perimeter stays breathable and no leaf gets trapped in a dead loop.
