I built a compost bin out of old pallets.

Pro tip: don't put too much meat in your compost.
It'll be mainly green waste; very little meat, if any.

I thought composting toddlers was illegal?
They have to catch me first.

It is split into 2 halves to make turning one side easier, and we'll mainly be composting green waste only so it may not need much stirring. At the end of the day, this is t'wife's area of expertise - I just build what she asks me to!
I have a handful of those around the yard as well. Engineering isn't her strong suit, so that's why I know of putting the tube through the middle to help with aeration and keep things at a constant temp. As others have said, it's need more water, but I live in South Louisiana.... water is not a thing we are concerned about.

I live in the Welsh Marches so water isn't an issue here either, although we have had a very dry Spring for England this year.

Can also be used as a time-out zone for naughty toddlers.
Looks great but just a heads up that you might want to inspect the pallets you used for this project. A lot of them are chemically treated and probably not the best idea to use for any project that'll be food adjacent:

You shouldn’t put any meat in compost… unless it’s an industrial composter.

Hell yeah! I got really fascinated with compost a couple years ago. Of course that's also the time I mowed a lot less lol. But get yourself one of those big compost thermometers! It's really cool seeing how hot it gets!
Oh wow, I was even looking up old pictures I took of it and I found this meme I made.
