Geronimo !! :D Thanks Nigel.  You may be able to see that it forms part of the bunny barrier and will be open to the inside of the horta.  A couple more courses to go and a sloping top with lids.  I'm also going to render it.  I'd thought about waterproofing the inside faces but hadn't thought of pool paint.  I've got some left over from painting the pool. I'd thought of feeding a dribbler into the top of each bin from the irrigation system so it they get a bit every time we water the plants.  Can't be any worse than the UK way.  ;)

Hi Bigyin,
We have been trying different methods for composting last year was good but this year has been excellent, nearly as good as in the U.K. every foot of material we put a layer of soil on approx 2-3 inches deep, between the layers then turn it twice a year. We do not have spare water on the property so I cannot add any amount of water to it and it is in pallets open to the elements. the way we are doing it now works well for us. ( for me perfect except for listing to him indoors threatening cardiac arrest when having to turn it.)
Hope this helps and not teaching you how to suck eggs.
Bulldog.
