    I wonder if you could use the mulberries for savoury dishes? If you think about how we use cranberries for Christmas dinners of turkey/chicken.

    Drilling into a brick wall

    Yes, but it has to be worth spending the money on the initial outlay for an SDS. If you aren't likely to use it enough to justify the initial cost, it's pointless. Always a balance

    Unless you bruise the stems it is unlikely anything will work, they have an outside layer of silica, which makes them pretty impervious.
