The BEFORE — area behind the Laguna Foundation’s native plant nursery before installation of Compost Cricket Corral, which will consolidate the compost pile and provide wildlife habitat.
Yesterday, I started prep work for a wildlife habitat installation, Compost Cricket Corral, at the Laguna Environmental Center, which is the headquarters and showcase educational property for the Laguna Foundation.
Staking out Compost Cricket Corral’s post locations, which will define three compost piles/bins. No T-square, but piping with a 90-degree elbow worked fine.
We will be installing vertical driftwood posts to replace the current stakes; the posts are to encourage insect activity.

Compost Cricket Corral, that is, the new and improved compost pile(s), will be within easy access of the nursery’s work stations.
Stakes mark the pole locations for Compost Cricket Corral. Nice view of Stone Farm’s northern pasture, Irwin creek, and Mount St. Helena while we work!
This project will be completed in October by Sunny Galbraith’s biology students from Orchard View School, Sebastopol, California. Compost Cricket Corral will be our first wildlife habitat installation for this school year. Chirp chirp!
Enjoy your habitat garden.
