Why do the bins come apart?
The bins do not have to come apart. We thought that if the bin could be disassembled, you could set it up in the area you plan to use the finished compost to minimize handling. Also, after 30 days of active composting, you could remove the bin and reassemble it to begin another batch, while allowing the first composted pile to sit and cure for an additional 30 days. Removing the bin will also allow you to easily pick up and transport the compost with a tractor.
