Building a Compost Fence

  • South Whidbey Tilth 2812 Thompson Road Langley, WA, 98260 United States (map)

Join landscape designer Jennifer Carlson as she discusses design elements for your small-scale farm or homestead.

Compost fences receive woody material that takes too long to decompose in a standard compost pile.  The woody material breaks down into compost dust and feeds the plants on either side of the fence. Besides being decorative, a compost fence can provide a windbreak, screening, shade, privacy, and a quiet insulated backdrop. What used to be considered woody debris to be disposed of is now a resource to be gathered for your fence!

Jennifer will discuss requirements for locating and constructing a fence and the do's and don'ts.

$5 for members and $15 for non-members (cash, check or card payable on the day of the class). R.S.V.P to education@southwhidbeytilth.org.
