I believe peeing on the compost is very beneficial too - helps it break down quicker and uses an excellent resource that is most often just flushed away!  Of course if you don't want to offend the neighbours then don't pee on it directly - I have a 'special jar' in the garage.

I use 4 same-sized pallets (ask businesses if they have any spare ones, if they do they are often more than happy to have you take them off their hands) placed in a square either tied at the top and bottom with baler twine or nailed.  Just don't put too much squodgy stuff like grass clippings - put those around your fruit bushes as a mulch.  I've always had good compost from these pallet bins, like fine soil, and a joy to use.
