Built a conpost bin out of pallets this past weekend!

My neighbors were getting rid of these pallets and I was able to snatch them up before they hit the curb for trash day. I have been toying with the idea of building/buying a compost bin since starting up a backyard garden over the past few weeks and couldn't turn down the opportunity.

This is how it's done, nice! Already thinking about expanding to two or three bins?
I was wondering, is there a specific reason for the cardboard on the bottom?
I could definitely see myself going to at least two bins, I'll have to keep my eye out for more pallets!
I read somewhere that the cardboard on the bottom can help in the beginning to keep the bottom of the pile moist when the pile is small. No idea if that's true or actually helpful, but I had cardboard so I figired I'd give it a shot. It'll fall apart eventually anyway!
