desertcart.com : Jora Composter JK 270 - Outdoor Dual Chamber Compost Tumbler - 70 Gallon - Galvanized Steel Construction : Composting Bins : Home & Kitchen

Review: Works great. Assembly was somewhat challenging - Works great. Assembly was somewhat challenging, but not too much so (make sure to watch video on YouTube first). Composts very well, minimal leaking, takes about 4-5 weeks for a chamber to ripen fully. Terrific solution for kitchen waste. We bought two, so in winter, when composting will slow down, we will not run out of space. Built well, solid and sturdy. Very, very happy with the purchase. Update after almost three years of use: Well, these composters are one of the best thing we ever bought. We live in climate zone 5a, so winters are somewhat harsh and rather snowy. Our composters work year round without fail. All kitchen scraps, food leftovers, some (but far from all) garden waste, paper towels and napkins are now turned into prime quality compost. There is minimal leakage from the bottom of the barrels, but since they are located outdoors, it is not an issue. In winter we can see steam rising from the venting holes, that is how hot it gets inside the chambers. I have been playing with different proportions of the brown/green waste. Sometimes I add peat moss, sometimes alfalfa (buy it in the farm store, where they sell it as food for rabbits), sometimes just shredded paper (checks, documents etc) from our shredder, sometimes shredded leaves. It always, always works. A couple of times felt that it would be beneficial to use compost accelerator. Just so the chambers get somewhat of a "do over". Used it, again results were great. We are now never without compost. With four separate chambers in different stages of ripening I always have some compost ready to add into the planting hole or just spread around. The paint on the composters faded a little bit in the sun, but they still look pristine. Rain washes them, wind dries them off, no other maintenance is required. Also worth mentioning. I have two old metal wheelbarrows (got one at a yard sale for $1 and another came with the house). They are beaten up, but I will never get rid of them, since they fit perfectly underneath the composters for emptying. These wheelbarrows have low profile and are entirely made out of metal. I just roll one of them underneath the chamber to be emptied (right to the cross on the back), open the chamber door and rotate the composter. Works like a charm. It sounds ridiculous, but these composters now are one of my most prized possessions.... Yeah, I know, gardeners are nuts..... Update after 7 years of use: Still using this composters and still loving them! Came to check if these were still available beacause I just recommended them to someone. Was astounded to see a negative review (with photos). I do not know who these people are, I do not know what their deal is, but their composters had to be fully submerged in acid to look like they do. Here are pictures of our composters, located outside (no protection) in zone 5, after seven years of use. I rely heavily on reviews when purchasing new items, hopefully this will help.
Review: Not an easy screw. - Well, I finally got a compost tumbler. After much research (I originally wanted a mantis) I found that most people using a tumbler preferred the Joraform. It looks nice, is sturdy, well made. Why not? I don’t spend large amounts of money on myself, so I asked for it for Mother’s day. My husband finally ordered it around June. (Late, I know.) It arrived the last day of August. So shipping through desertcart was unexpectedly long. No biggie. I have a lot to learn about composting and wasn’t expecting to get it going in any real significant way this year. It wasn’t until mid September that I had a spare day to assemble it. Since my hubby had a project going outside, I thought we could spend the day doing our projects together, 6 feet apart. (Sounds Covid-y.) He started installing his cold air intake and I started on the Joraform. I actually did as he did and pulled up the assembly video (made by Joraform) on youtube and watched the whole thing first. Then I rewound it and started with each individual step. It was surprisingly easy. I even stopped to help hubby with a fee issues he was having with his project. It finally came time to put the panels on. It all went to hell from here. Now, to be fair, the assembly video said you “may” need a second person to do this. It should have said “You will need a second hand and a 250lb gorilla to accomplish the next several steps.” I managed to place the first panel on my own. It was tough, but I got it and my false sense of accomplishment set in. Then, panel number two. Holy crap. There was no way that thing was going on. The foam inside, while snug, was so tight fitting that there was no way I could line up the holes. I struggled. I got mad. So I stopped and helped hubby finish the cold air intake in exchange for help with the Joraform. We attacked together. Even my husband, with his sexy arms of steel, were no match to push down on the panels to align the holes for the screws. We maneuvered and turned and swapped places with no avail. There was no way of getting enough pressure onto the thing to align it all. I finally suggested we should lay the thing in it’s side and have him and his 200lb self sit on the panels. It mostly worked. I still had to exude large amounts of force to get the screws to go into place. I did not realize, but at one point I was grunting to get the screws in. I glanced at my hubby and he had that silly grin and was raising his eyebrows at me. He mentioned liking the noises I was making. I very quickly made sure there was no more grunting of any kind, but that didn’t stop him from copping a feel every moment he got a chance. I finally told him to finish the screws. (Another cheeky grin from him.) But alas, my weight was no where near enough to press the panels down to align the holes. Fatty had to go back to sitting while I did all the work. We finished a couple hours after I started on it. I think it’s going to be a great tumbler, but don’t order it unless you have a gorilla or a horny hubby to help you assemble the darn thing. Don’t trust the assembly video. It is NOT an easy process. On the upside, he got his cold air intake installed and I got my tumbler assembled and we both got a workout in more than one way!! 😉

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the clearance between the ground and the tumbler? Enough room for a wheelbarrow?**
A: Aaron, the clearance between the absolute bottom edge and the ground is 20 inches.  That would assume the you intend to pour the contents straight down.  The clearance from the bottom edge of the panel with the door, assuming your wheelbarrow is along side or partly under the tumbler is 30 inches.  I find this perfectly reasonable because I do not empty all the contents out at one time.  In fact, not so different from a "starter" in making sour dough bread, it is useful to leave some of the contents in the tumbler.

**Q: Has anyone placed the Joraform in a garage or shed indoors?  Would it smell too much to do so?**
A: I wish I had room in my garage or shed for mine. I have mine on my back patio and don't have any issues with odor whatsoever. I don't think it is a matter of smell at all. You may get some flies and gnats though. Just a part of composting. If it does get smelly, add some wood chips or shredded cardboard. You have too much "green matter". It is really best to mix a full load at a time so you get the right mix. If you want to continue adding kitchen scraps, start with at least 80% browns, and add the greens as you go. Keep it moist, but not wet.

**Q: Given that the composter is insulated, how important is the placement within the yard? I'd rather place it in my side yard but it gets less sun...**
A: I read that I should place the composter in a shadier part of the yard. I got my composter this last winter and located it on the north side of the house. This is a little used area so it was as much for aesthetics as it was for advise. Anyway, our winters are pretty severe. I am in a zone 5. It got down past zero this year. I did not notice much composting action until spring. I never tried the hot water bottle trick, but I did add some compost starter when I got desperate for something to happen. As soon as the weather warmed up, this composter took off and I have one side that I am using on the garden already and the other side is already halfway done. I am very happy with the composter and don't blame it for not being too effective in the winter. If I had it to do over again, I might put the composter on the sunny side of the house, but then it would bake in the summer!

**Q: will this model make compost tea**
A: I don't think it does purposely.  However, I placed a mixing tub underneath it and it does drip compost tea.  Rain mixes with it and you develop even more.  My answer is not scientific and I don 't know how strong the tea is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The build can be tough, but its worth it.
*by A***O on April 1, 2023*

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
