My Marvellous Compost Bin

.. is planned to be built today.
I have one question: It is a square wooden thing roughly 1m x 1m x 1m with 100mm slats on the side.
I think I need gaps between slats to permit air to get in.
Should these gaps be say 20mm or more like 50mm?
Perhaps I am just being a worrier.
Cheers

We have our compost turned and done ready to use in 2 months through the summer.
I don't have as much 'soft' material as others possibly do, but I do grow sweet peas, so the two big pots that I cleared last week were shredded with the mower before adding.
I think that will help the process go a little quicker too. Time will tell.
Anyhoo. in the meantime squaring up the corners has begun with temporary timbers. It is the site of the old garage, so awful ground and requires a strong box structure.
That bamboo, which is non clumping, will be removed.
