Compost bin plans

Here's a sketch of the compost bin I'm planning for the garden.
It's two bins side by side, together 2 feet high, 2 feet deep and 3 feet wide each.
I will be made out of cedar 2 by 4's and 1 by 4s.



The lids are not attached and sit on top, centered by cleats. In the figure below, I've tilted a lid back to show the cleats. Shown also, the front boards are held vertically in channels made from cleats.



The basic structure is made from three squares formed from 2 by 4's, joined by lap joints, as shown below. I am planning to cut the joints on my table saw using a dado blade.
