Compost area screen

I moved house last year and inherited an unsightly compost heap made of corrugated iron (open one end), well dug in and virtually impossible to move. As I have a large garden it is actually quite useful. However, it is an eyesore. Any ideas for screening it? This year I have planted mint, comfrey and jerusalem artichokes which have made a good start and should thicken up next year.
Suggestions gratefully received!

 

Cut branches staked around it will make a good 'trellis' for growing climbers up. Climbers can be trained to grow along, not just up! I have a clematis which I take sideways along a border willow-edging, very attractiive!

You could paint it, or buy trellis/screening but there must be more creative solutions out there! At least it'll be there for awhile, it'll take a while to rot away!

 

I've just made a small compost heep from corrugated sheets myself. I bent chicken wire around it and planted honeysuckle to climb through it. Its evergreen and it smells wonderful (well, I hope it will)

Update on the compost area. Jerusalem artichokes working well but I need them a bit denser - should be OK next year.

You could cut young willow shoots, plant them during the winter weaving them in a nice geometric fashion, and let them sprout new leaves in spring. I have seen some truly lovely structures made like that.

This one is not the best example I have seen, but it gives the idea:

 

Might try that. We have Willows in this area and it is low lying and near a river so they should take off easily.
