The Jora Composter

When I find a product I love, I want to share. This particular product is revolutionary in the world of composting.

The Jora Composters are by far the best composters I have ever come across! And I have tried many. The Jora comes in two sizes, the JK125, for up to 4 people and the JK270 (which I have) for the larger family, up to 12 people.(We have 7)

This composter was invented in Sweden, where the recycling regulations are very strict. Jora designed the JK125 and JK270 for the homeowner. They also designed commercial composters for schools, businesses and Apartment Complexes.

The major difference between the Jora Composters and others is that the Jora is insulated. It regulates the temperature for year round composting. Both sizes have a dual chamber, so you are always making fresh compost. Once one chamber is full, simply start on the other chamber and let the first mature, so you always have a fresh supply. The first batch takes less than 8 weeks, once you have both chambers going you will have fresh compost every 3-4 weeks year round! Most composters stop composting in the winter months when the temperatures drop. Not the Jora! I know I enjoy composting throughout the winter months. My food scraps don't end up in the trash and I have fresh soil for indoor gardening and seed starting.

Another benefit of these composters is that they are made of metal. They are recyclable and they are packed and shipped flat (like most things from Sweden) and that saves on shipping and fuel. You gotta love a company that thinks green.

Try one of the Jora Composters! I know you will love it. I do. The environment and your plants will thank you.
