## Overview

Its side vents optimize airflow, accelerating decomposition, while the ergonomic design ensures effortless rotation.

## Description

In the harsh winters of Sweden, there are up to 6 months of freezing cold temperatures which make it nearly impossible to compost waste using traditional methods. In 1989 a Swedish engineer named Jonathan Ramious developed the Jora Composter to fill a need for composting through these harsh winter months. Homeowners wanted to have compost they could use in the springtime. The months of spring and summer were simply not long enough to accumulate enough compost to use all year round. Jonathan invented a rolling tumbler that could easily mix old waste with new. Like today’s Jora Composter, this one had two separate chambers. However, early Jora composters were assembled onto a wall with hooks . The Composter was made from galvanized steel and built sturdy enough to withstand the harsh winter months. Insulation inside the ante provided a big advantage. This high-density food-grade insulation proved to be very effective in maintaining temperatures high enough to compost kitchen scraps, even if the weather outside was extremely cold. When you see it working you can’t help but be amazed that it can be sitting in one foot of snow and when it is opened – steam comes out. Year-round composting had become accessible to everyone. People were now able to compost their kitchen waste during the winter months. The composter was so efficient that you could even compost protein like chicken, beef, and fish. A new and exciting invention, the Jora Composter makes a significant contribution to our fragile environment by creating a lot less waste for landfills, and bringing nutrients to our soil for it to produce more than ever before.

## Features

- Save Time and Effort - The Jora Composter is thoughtfully designed for ease of use and simplicity of rotation. Acting as a compost turner, it can be effortlessly turned by hand whenever waste is added. With dual chambers, while one side is being filled, the other matures, providing a continuous composting process.
- Incredibly Well Built - Unlike most outdoor composting bins, the Jora backyard composter boasts stable, food-grade, non-toxic insulation. This unique feature allows temperatures to soar beyond 160 degrees F, ensuring quick and efficient composting.
- High Volume Capacity - With a generous volume of up to 70 gallons and the ability to handle 7-8 gallons of waste per week, the JK 270 is the ideal large compost bin. Keep it conveniently placed outside, enabling you to dispose of waste in an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner.
- Improved Aeration - The Jora Composter stands out as one of the few compost bins equipped with side vents, facilitating a steady flow of oxygen into the compost mixture. Coupled with kitchen waste (green) and a carbon source (brown), these side vents ensure successful composting.
- Attractive Backyard Addition - Designed with our customers' convenience in mind, this compost tumbler boasts an appealing look and feel. Crafted from galvanized steel, it not only enhances durability but also adds a touch of charm to your outdoor space.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the clearance between the ground and the tumbler? Enough room for a wheelbarrow?**
A: Aaron, the clearance between the absolute bottom edge and the ground is 20 inches.  That would assume the you intend to pour the contents straight down.  The clearance from the bottom edge of the panel with the door, assuming your wheelbarrow is along side or partly under the tumbler is 30 inches.  I find this perfectly reasonable because I do not empty all the contents out at one time.  In fact, not so different from a "starter" in making sour dough bread, it is useful to leave some of the contents in the tumbler.

**Q: Has anyone placed the Joraform in a garage or shed indoors?  Would it smell too much to do so?**
A: I wish I had room in my garage or shed for mine. I have mine on my back patio and don't have any issues with odor whatsoever. I don't think it is a matter of smell at all. You may get some flies and gnats though. Just a part of composting. If it does get smelly, add some wood chips or shredded cardboard. You have too much "green matter". It is really best to mix a full load at a time so you get the right mix. If you want to continue adding kitchen scraps, start with at least 80% browns, and add the greens as you go. Keep it moist, but not wet.

**Q: Given that the composter is insulated, how important is the placement within the yard? I'd rather place it in my side yard but it gets less sun...**
A: I read that I should place the composter in a shadier part of the yard. I got my composter this last winter and located it on the north side of the house. This is a little used area so it was as much for aesthetics as it was for advise. Anyway, our winters are pretty severe. I am in a zone 5. It got down past zero this year. I did not notice much composting action until spring. I never tried the hot water bottle trick, but I did add some compost starter when I got desperate for something to happen. As soon as the weather warmed up, this composter took off and I have one side that I am using on the garden already and the other side is already halfway done. I am very happy with the composter and don't blame it for not being too effective in the winter. If I had it to do over again, I might put the composter on the sunny side of the house, but then it would bake in the summer!

**Q: will this model make compost tea**
A: I don't think it does purposely.  However, I placed a mixing tub underneath it and it does drip compost tea.  Rain mixes with it and you develop even more.  My answer is not scientific and I don 't know how strong the tea is.
