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.

    • A Very Solid, Well-Engineered Product. Excellent Swedish Engineering -- Enough Said. Assembly Required.
Size: 70 Gallon
This is a really solid, well-designed piece of equipment. I was concerned about the stability of the steel tubing stand, but it is rock-solid when assembled, thanks to the cross-bracing on the bottom and back side of the stand. The materials used appear to be very high quality. The bolts are stainless steel, and all the metal tubing appears to be as well. The main drum is made of galvanzied steel sheets that have been powder coated (a low-visibility sage green color). The handles are solid molded plastic, and are pre-attached to the side panels. Not all side panels have handles on them, so pay attention to which panel goes in which location while you are assembling the unit. The compost tumbler was shipped and delivered much faster than the "advertised" time -- a Fedex Ground truck showed up at the door two days after I ordered, a pleasant surprise. It comes in two large boxes, and everything is double-boxed to prevent damage during shipment. Assembly instructions are sparse, with a number of small illustrations and almost no text. The manufacturer has an online video to guide assembly. I found it unnecessary. If you pay attention to the drawings, the unit goes together well. The assembly instructions strongly advise having two persons available for the assembly job. This is good advise, although I was able to do the entire job myself, using one tool (a 3 foot pipe clamp) that is not specified in the assembly manual. Assembly is straightforward and fairly easy until the last step, which is to assemble the 8 sides onto the two end panels to make the 'barrel." The side panels are lined with stiff plastic foam (insulation to keep the compost mixture warm as it "cooks"), and that foam must be compressed with a good deal of pressure to bring the pre-drilled screw holes into alignment for each panel. (Two stainless steel M3.5-15 sheet metal screws are used to hold each end of each panel in place.) I found the assembly went much easier if I used a pipe clamp (a woodworking tool) to hold the side panel in place while inserting the screws. It's tempting to use a power drill with a Phillips-head bit to drive those sheet metal screws into their holes. Don't do it. Stainless steel is not as hard and strong as carbon steel, and it is very easy to strip the heads on the screws with a power driver. I stripped several screw heads in the process and had to buy replacements. The only other "trick" in assembly is used in attaching the two end panels to the hexagonal sheets of foam that go on the ends, and similar assembly of two sheets of solid plastic to form a "sandwich" with the foam sheet in the center partition that separates the two sides of the composter. These sub-assemblies are held together with nylon bolts. There are no holes in the foam sheets (about 1.5" thick) so you have to push each bolt through the foam. I found it easier to push the bolt part way through one direction, then remove it and push it all the way through the other side. One could use a power drill, but it is not necessary. The sparse assembly instructions assume a certain basic knowledge of mechanical systems. They do not, for example, say which size wrench to use for which bolts.The 9/16" wrench is used on the head of the six metric bolts that attach the cross-braces. The 1/2" wrench is used on other nuts. (Metric equivalent wrenches would be 14 mm and 13 mm.) The instructions also don't describe the orientation of the self-locking (aircraft type) nuts that are supplied for application to the six M8 bolts and two long steel shafts at the top and bottom rear of the unit's stand. If you are not familiar with these nuts, the plastic "rim" that is visible on one side of the nut points out toward the thread end of the bolt (away from the head). Read the assembly instructions carefully and make sure all the parts are in their correct position before bolting things together, and you'll do well wih assembly. At the time of this review, I haven't actually started composting with this product, but it certainly looks like it will do the job well. The heavy duty components and thick foam insulation should help to retain heat in the composter and speed the composting process. ... show more

    • The build can be tough, but its worth it.
Size: 70 Gallon
So for my wife's birthday, she decided she wanted to start composting after talking about it over dinner with friends. I decided given our suburban neighborhood that a tumbling composter would be best, and after some research and given we are in the Northeast, the Jora insulated composter. So I got the JK270, which might be too big for our needs, but it has been working like a champ. In 3 months we have produced one huge load of compost (which we combined with some potting soil for our strawberry and lettuce bed) and now have the second chamber going strong at 140F this morning when its 40F outside. I am still learning to get the moisture levels right, let it get to wet during the first batch at one point and it reeked a little then and had the dripping out the bottom, but doing better this time. I use mostly wood bedding pellets for the browns, occasionally paper shred. The best part though is since the JK270 is steel construction, and insulated, we are able to throw pretty much everything in it. Expired eggs, sauced vegetables, anything really is working well. We avoid bowls of liquid, but other than that, everything goes into the kitchen counter composter and then into the current chamber in the composter. Since its gets to 140F+ and holds that temperature, it kills anything of concern, and we havent had any issue (yet) with critters due to having meats/cheese in it. Yes, it was a PITA to put together, but it appears to be worth it and working very well. Sure we coulda gone cheaper, but this works for our lifestyle and location and the fact we can keep going during the winter is even better. Here are the extra things I got to support this in addition to the JK-270 Gorilla Carts GCR-4 4 Cu. Ft, 300-pound Capacity, Poly Yard Cart, Black/Yellow - Fits perfectly under the JK270 on its stand. Easy to wheel around. Holds a bag of soil + load of compost. Tierra Garden GP104 2-in-1 Galvanized Woven Wire Garden Sieve, Soil Sifting Pan - Perfect for sifting the compost into the Gorilla Cart and then dumping unfinished stuff back into the other side. This lets the microbes carry over and makes the compost fine enough for ready use. Reotemp 20 Inch Fahrenheit Backyard Compost Thermometer with Digital Composting Guide - Keep it in and check temperature each morning before rotating (though you have to remember to remove it or you end up losing it in the compost, and no, it hasnt happened more than 2x, really. American Wood FIBERS PELLETS PinePellet Bedding, 40 lb - Working well, no additives, great Brown part and also helps control odor. Jobe's Organics 09926 Fast Acting Fertilizer Compost Starter, 4 Pound - Not sure this was needed, but used some in the first batch and havent needed to since. Rust-Oleum 7701830 Stops Rust Spray Paint, 12 oz, Gloss Crystal Clear - I had seen some issues with the JK's having rust forming, so i got this and used it to coat anywhere i accidently scratched the paint putting it together, or where screws went through. Maybe not needed, but for the cost i want the JK to last. EPICA Stainless Steel Compost Bin 1.3 Gallon-Includes Charcoal Filter - Our kitchen counter bin for the kids and us to dump into and empty into the JK every day or so. Has a charcoal filter on lid to minimize odors ... show more
