Compost in 3 easy steps...
Step 1
To begin, simply add your daily kitchen scraps, doggie and garden waste to a starter eg; active compost. The insulated environment will increase in temperature; creating the ideal ecological environment for decomposing solid matter.
Step 2
Add some sawdust to ensure you have the correct ratio of wet & dry ingredients
Step 3
Rotate the barrel every time you add waste to ensure adequate aeration and your organic, nutrient rich compost will be ready for use in around 6 weeks!
Why choose Joraform...
Fully insulated and aerated
The most suitable organisms for decomposition are oxygen breathers or “aerobes” and there must be an adequate movement of air through the decomposing matter to supply their needs. The Jora composter has been cleverly constructed to allow aeration while simultaneously accelerating the decomposing process as the temperature is maintained at the correct level for decomposing to occur.
Fully rotating for proper mixing!
One of the big advantages of the Jora composters is how easy it is to mix the contents. Rotating the unit drawsin air, preventing odours and mixing wet and dry matter. By rotating the unit, aeration occurs and the moisture is evenly distributed so new surface planes emerge for the micro-organisms to digest.
Easy to balance wet & dry
For efficient breakdown of waste matter, the correct combination of aeration, temperature plus sufficient mixing with the correct wet & dry ratio is required. The combination of rotation and sawdust make it easy to maintain the temperature, aeration and wet & dry ratio. One turn of the unit with each new quantity of waste is sufficient to aerate the contents. Rotate the unit more frequently if the waste is very wet, to ensure even distribution of the sawdust or wood pellets.
The role played by sawdust / wood shavings
The use of sawdust / wood shavings absorbs the moisture and gives structure to the compost, keeping it well aerated. The addition of sawdust has 3 important functions. Micro-organisms need both carbon and nitrogen. For each part nitrogen (N) there needs to be 30 parts carbon (C). Green waste and food waste are very high in nitrogen. Therefore, carbon is needed to balance the waste. When you add dry sawdust, it...
absorbs moisture
adds structure to the finished compost
provides a carbon source on which the micro-organisms feed
