Overview

The Jora JK125 Composter lets you make perfect compost from your household waste quickly and easily. It is a 'continuous-use' dual chamber composter, so you can start a new batch in one compartment while the first batch ages. Ideal for rapid composting of kitchen scraps and light garden waste. The Jora JK125 is suitable for smaller households with 1 to 4 people.

NOTE: The Jora JK125 comes with the longer legs as pictured in the first three images (left). The other three images and the videos below show the older model with shorter legs. All JK125's now come with the longer legs.

*Please note, to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Jora, we highly recommend keeping it undercover and protected from direct exposure to rain. While these tumblers are built to withstand the elements, prolonged exposure to moisture can accelerate the onset of rust and potentially shorten the lifespan of the unit. Storing your tumbler in a sheltered area, such as a covered patio or shed, will help maintain its integrity.

Dual Chambers

The JK125 is divided into two compartments, so one side can be filled while the other side's compost matures. Once the compartment being filled can take no more, the mature compost can be emptied from the other compartment, and the cycle begins again.

Insulation

Composting generates heat and the different microorganisms start working at different temperatures. The HDPE insulation in the JK125 composter allows the temperature to rise to 150° F for faster, more efficient processing of your organic waste. At these temperatures fresh waste starts to break down before it has a chance to rot and attract vermin and flies. With its superior insulation, the Jora composter will continue working through winter, long after other composters have stopped completely.

Rotation

• Easy to rotate - simply turn by hand after adding waste
• Fresh waste is brought into direct contact with decaying waste
• Adds air to the mixture, providing oxygen vital for microbial activity

What can be composted?

• Raw and cooked food scraps e.g. vegetables, fruit, eggshells, meat, fish, bread
• Garden waste e.g. flower cuttings, leaves, weeds, grass clippings
• Shredded paper and cardboard e.g. egg cartons
• Light pet waste e.g. rabbit or hamster bedding

The JK125 Composter will accept organic household waste or anything biodegradable. After adding waste, it will take about 6 to 8 weeks for each chamber to produce compost. Once both chambers are in operation you should be emptying one chamber every 3 to 4 weeks.

Rodent Proof:

The Jora JK125 Composter is sited off the ground so there is no possibility of rodents or other pests gaining access to the waste in the composter.

Construction:

• Exterior: galvanized steel panels, powder coated to last for years. The steel panels will withstand extreme freezing without developing cracks, and will hold up well to prolonged sun exposure without any deterioration of the finish.
• Insulation: 2.16" HDPE polyethylene - a stable, non-toxic plastic
• Galvanized steel stand
• Stainless steel hardware

*Please note, assembly requires at least two people. Due to the nature of the insulation and steel panels, assembling your Jora can be difficult.
