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.
For the first couple of days, keep the air vents closed
as 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, the insulation accelerates 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 draws air in through
the air vents, 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 air vents,
rotation and sawdust make it easy to maintain the temperature,
aeration and wet & dry ratio. After the heat has built up
initially, the air vents should be fully open at all times. 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
