The 24-inch dimension means that no part of the interior is ever more than {{convert|1|ft|m|adj=on|1}} from available sources of oxygen and nitrogen - critical for complete [[Compost|composting]]. This means you don't have to touch your compost after throwing it in - no stirring, no turning, no layering, no having to transfer from one bin to another.  The 2-foot narrow dimension assures that your yard waste, etc. will compost evenly and completely over the course of the composting year.  If you need faster composting, [[Build a Tumbling Composter]].
