That is great! I have tried so many styles of compost bins. I am now using a hay bale which is working well but I must admit is nothing like you stunner! Kim
Brilliant; the best design chosen (with the slats and the 3-bin progression) and then so well executed. My heap cannot be contained; I use the “windrow” system like a farmer, a long pile raked into a line out in the open to dry/age, and at present it is more than 40 feet long, 5 feet wide and almost as high. (I have a lot of plants.) Thank you for this post, and for your invaluable contributions to WordPress.
I love the look of aluminum lids. How is this working for you?
I’ve used a similar 3x3x9 bin system with a a chicken coop addition on top (replacing the lids with chicken wire floor). The chickens can access the bottom compost area (I eventually took out all dividers) via a ladder.
One problem I found is the slats swell up and stick here in Seattle, making it difficult to pull in and out, so we’ve had to adapt it.

Can’t remember, but think I first read about the compost/chicken system in “The Integral Urban House Book” back in 1980.
Again, beautiful compost bin you’ve built! I came across this via @margaretroach on twitter.
Beautiful work! Clever with the slats.
