Misengineered

Raking the leaves in the garden this afternoon, I was reminded of a could-have-been-clever feature on the plastic compost bin I bought in the summer.

As the assembly instructions for the bin point out, the bottom doors can be slid out completely to use as scoops for putting fallen leaves in your compost.

Sound nifty? Well, it almost is.

Having removed the doors, everything falls right out of the bottom of your composter again.
