Should I miter the ends of the sides, or would a butt joint be

Thank you in advance for all replies.

Why go to all that trouble? Just have a pile surrounded by chicken
wire fence with one end that can be opened, use shovel occasionally to
mix.

this works fine, the tumblers are overkill if you ask me
