Great job on the write up as well as the job! Sounds like an excellent composting solution. I think you should do a worm bin to continue to improve your soil too. Next season perhaps?

YES! and then I could have access to homegrown fishing bait too!

The lack of flat land can be ok. Slopes provide drainage. You can terrace, make mounds and swales or use raised beds.
As for the 3 bin setup, here is a pic finally posted in the article. My middle bin is still cooking, but I moved it over to start a fresh pile in the first bin. That middle bin is breaking down nicely though. I cannot identify and leaves at this point and it was mostly leaves and poop. There's quite a bit of fibrous material like stems and twigs that still have not broken down and the pile is still hot in the center. I just stirred it 2 days ago.

Thank you for the review.
I tend to figure things out as I go - just the way I think and work. I am happy to answer any questions if you are interested in building tumblers. I also just built a 3-bin compost setup yesterday. I haven't had a chance to update this article with that just yet.
