How do people plant these directly into their retaining walls?
I’ve seen these succulents in a few different properties, but I’m not sure how they do it.
I keep searching for weed removal tips, but they’re all about grass patches — not grass mixed in like seen here.
How the heck do I get it out efficiently?

Context: The party is traveling by raft, with four others on the raft:
”The fourth man, the strong one bent and cocked two more crossbows … Once he had fitted the deadly, iron-tipped bolts into their grooves and propped the bows against the cabin, he removed the bolts from the cocked ones and discharged them … ‘Resting the crosspiece,” Thomas said. The man knew his weapons.”
OK, to me it reads a bit confusingly. Is the man cocking, loading, resting and then unloading and discharging the same crossbows? That’s how I read it. What is the point of this?
Are they different crossbows? Very confused.
