My compost bin's bottom panel gave out right before the big rain

It happened yesterday evening, and about 20 pounds of nearly finished compost spilled onto my patio. I managed to scoop most of it into a spare trash can before the storm hit. Has anyone else had a compost bin fail, and what did you use as a quick fix?

Consider this a lucky break for your garden. That rain just saved you from having to water in all those nutrients. Honestly, a bin failure sounds like the easiest way to spread compost.

Wait, did your compost bin actually fall apart? How does that even happen with all that wet weight?

It's not that simple, @bailey.jennifer, because a bin collapse makes a huge mess to clean up.
