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.

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!
