Composting is the act of adding organic material to soil to help plants grow, which can include food or yard waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Manure is not listed as an ideal compostable material under the EPA, but knowledgeable agricultural experts say it’s an alright thing to do, including one guide from North Dakota State University.
Moreover, a compost fence tutorial on doityourself.com states that built fences are meant to help keep animals out of compost with wiring or other fencing materials. An organic material like manure is not suggested as a viable option.

Lambarth’s family has lived in the area for more than a century and was first developed by his grandfather.
