JK400 Joraform Compost Tumbler
We can't believe how quick and efficient this composter is. It composts so fast that you'll struggle to keep it full! It also takes up very little room, fitting easily in a small garden.
Because the JK400 is insulated and raised off the ground, there are no rodent problems or strong smells. You can even add cooked meat and fish waste!
It's so well insulated that the internal temperature can reach around 75 degrees centigrade. At that kind of temperature the micro-organisms work so fast that you can almost see the food breaking down before your eyes.
The JK400 is easily rotated by hand due to the centre axel. As fresh waste is added it is brought into direct contact with decaying waste. Along with the side vents on the unit, rotating adds air to the mixture, providing oxygen that is vital for the composting process.
The unit is made with durable, rust-proof galvanised steel panels with added polyethylene plastic insulation.
Two Compartments for Maximum Results
The digester is divided into two compartments. When the first compartment is full (approx. 6 weeks) it is covered with a metal plate (provided). When the second compartment is full the first can be emptied of its finished compost.
Composting
Composting occurs at temperature intervals of +2 to +78C. Different micro-organisms work at different temperature intervals. Higher temperatures give a higher degree of hygienic composting, and are, therefore, more favourable.
With equal moisture distribution and oxygen configuration in the Jora unit, plus with continued addition of waste, the temperature will rise to 65-75C. You don't have to buy a thermometer, as you will see the steam rising from the contents. In fact, it can get too hot to bury your hand in it - should you wish to do so!
