I invented the same thing. A bungee band makes getting the door open easier. The thing that is missing in our bins is a system for dropping the finished compost (worm castings, etc. out the bottom. In worm farms they use a row of 1/2 or 3/4" PVC pipes with little slots in between. That lets the air in and lets the compost drop out into some sort of tray. A elaboration for later. Worms would need a cover (piece of plywood held down with a block?)as well. I didn't have a lid on mine and when the cows were in that pasture they came and ate up most of the nasty weeds I had thrown in the bins. Very nice. I invented the same thing.
