Jora Composter, Sweeping the Nation

Composting is coming to the forefront of the Green Revolution. It is a great and easy way to reduce the amount of waste that goes into our landfills. The Jora Composter from Sweden is sweeping the nation and becoming one of the most popular composters of the year! Jora Composters originated in Sweden where the recycling regulations are extremely strict. They made their way to the US recently and have exploded onto the market. “These composters make healthy, nutrient rich compost in a matter of weeks. They are selling faster than any other item on our website” says Vera Pappas, owner of GreenNationGardens.com, an eco-friendly web based retailer of lawn/garden supplies and outdoor living products.

The Jora Composter comes in two sizes the JK125 and the JK270 and can be either free standing or wall mounted. Ordinary kitchen waste, such as food scraps, egg shells, meats, etc. can be put in. You can also put in cardboard, shredded paper, and animal waste. It is very well constructed and strong. With its insulation you can compost year round! It reaches 160 degrees for fast, efficient composting. With other composters, once winter sets in the compost won’t break down.

Both sizes of the Jora have two chambers so you are constantly making fresh compost. Using the Jora JK125, the average 4-6 person household will keep over 10 pounds of waste out of the landfill each week! And that’s just kitchen waste. That amount will go up if you compost things like dryer lint, vacuum cleaner dust, shredded paper and more. In Sweden composting is not an option. Even apartment complexes and schools have commercial sized composters. Residents carry their waste in a biodegradable paper bag as they can just throw everything right into the composter. Just think of the amount of waste they are saving each year collectively!

What do you do with compost? Compost is excellent as an amendment for the lawn, added to flower beds, and there is nothing better for the vegetable garden. It is very nutrient rich and acts as a fertilizer. This will reduce or eliminate altogether the need for chemical fertilizers in your yard. Compost will make your plants, trees and shrubs healthier naturally. The nutrients also make them more insect and disease resistant.

Composting is an all around great thing to do for the environment and Jora Composters are the #1 way to do it!
