My beehive composter

Just thought you might like to see a 'beehive composter' I built from scrap wood. I copied it from what appears to be a popular (and expensive) design in the UK. It works pretty well so far - the organics are cooking. Each level is removable/stackable. The bottom level has a removable side to get to the good stuff (see pix 2). This part of the design doesn't work that well and could use some improvement that I haven't thought of yet. The top is hinged and makes refilling pretty easy... keeps moisture in and too much moisture out. The tupperware container is for my 10-10-10.

I'll take any suggestions you have as I plan to build a sister when this one fills.
