Makes it easier to pull the bin off the contents once it has had a year to cook and then that heap can be easily harvested or just spread if I have positioned the bin in the right spot......An alternative method I've seen in gardens opened during the Taranaki Garden Festival in the Sustainable Backyards category is to cut (hole drill) the lower section of a 10L paint bucket and then bury it to near the top in your vege garden. Put your kitchen scraps into the 'sunken' bucket and then fit the lid to keep opportunists out of its contents. The earthworms will then consume and transport the contents into the surrounding garden. Genius combined compost and worm farm method without the vermin risk and heavy work involved in conventional composting systems.
Still, it means I get all the pleasure of the results...
Cut the entire bottom out of the bucket?
