Default Earthmaker compost bin good or gimmick?

I simply used pallets from building sites. The builders were happy to
get rid of them, I even reused the nails during construction. I
certainly could not afford those prices.


I did use pallets but they rotted within a year and now i have to try
and separate them from the compost! They are half joined together and
half rotten so a bit of a pain to dismantle.
Have been recommended to look at wiggly wigglers 900litre wooden bin. A
gardener friend says that the wood alone would be more than £100 so they
don't look as expensive as at first. I can also add on to them as well.
