A MAN has reportedly retaliated against a neighbor with cow dung in a small U.S. Michigan town.

Wayne Lambarth, the neighbor who claims a 250-foot (76.2-meter) wall of manure was erected following a property line dispute he had with a fellow farm owner last year.

The unusual divider separates the two properties in Lodi Township, a civil township situated inside Washtenaw County, Michgan.

Aside from serving as a physical divider, Lambarth and his tenants said the manure wall comes with a powerful stench.

The farmer who built the wall, whose identity has remained anonymous, denied the organic structure is a “poop wall.”

“It’s a compost fence,” he said.

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 (EPA).

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.
