Sally--Thanks for an obvious comment---I did not remember that it is a bottomless pit.....

Took some more pictures today so you could see it more in "context"....

OK! This is a good one for all of you to see just how liomited the space is that I have around this composter. The bed to the left is for my tomatoes--maybe 5 is all that fits. Enough for me.

You can also see that STUPID little drawer-(door) that they show/advertise--showing how you can retrieve all that good compost out of your composter.
BAH--Humbug!!!! Unless you are an acrobat--with 5' long arms--and can lay on your stomach and reach inside the bottom of this composter--ALL you can retrieve is only from the front 1/4 of the whole thing.

Of course--it is all compacted--since I have not emptied it in 2 years--so you have to scrape and dig and scrape and dig to get any of that black "gold" out of there.

Also--on this picture, you can see that the foreground has an upward slope--and then I am in my neighbor's territory. IF I decided to convert this composter to a more eco-friendly, 4-sided, boards and supports, compost bin--I really would not have all that much room to play with.
