A three-bin compost system allows you to have different piles of compost in various stages of doneness: You start the pile on one end, move it to the second bin when the first is full and the compost is ready to turn, then repeat, turning compost into the third bin where it finishes. Two people can build a three-bin compost system from this plan – which repurposes free wood pallets – in an afternoon.

I had a two bin system made out of pallets, but it was rather unsightly after a while. I bought a steel mesh one from Gardners Supply which is a three bin system. It seems to be working better, though I believe location may have a lot to do with that.
