This is exactly the to-the-point video more people should make. Thank you. Now, I found the video 2 years post upload, and came from the other channel you mentioned, but you cemented my purchase of this composter. My questions have to do with the insulating foam: the deterioration, upkeep, care, replacement of (if any) and that information is difficult to find. I guess it’s safe. I did get a good look at the foam in your video, and if it’s been seven years, I can say it seems to be able to withstand the uses it’s put through.

Cardboard works great for Browns. I have my worm farm in our living room...they’re like pets! (I call them my “Noodles”)..lol. Vermicompost is Gardener’s GOLD. That Composter is a little spendy for me. Fixed income kinda thing. But I DO have a pretty nice dual drum one. Good Video Cheers from Sequoia National Park!

Thanks for the review. I’m looking for one of these to help offset nursery costs and send what can be great compost to the landfill. I have a question which has me stalled. I plan to fill 1/2 acre with as many herbs, fruit trees and berries along with veggies. I currently have a good start on herbs and medicinal perennials around the house and I’m working on moving comfrey to convenient places all around to harvest for mulch. I’m not sure which size to get. I think the smaller one would be fine for now but as build out my “food forest” my need will increase.

Thank you, do you have any videos of your garden boxes and how you constructed them?

Hey, thanks for the video I just bought my Jora. It's the size bigger than yours. And I'm continuing my research. As I start my process of learning to use it. But I did want to add for anybody out there that. In addition to the wood chip pellets going to a farm or tractor supply and getting the shredded. Corn pellet bedding that you use in horse stalls is awesome. It does all the same stuff and it's just as natural and can sometimes be cheaper and safer than getting wood chips.

Great video. Thanks. I have the 470 version. I create a lot of compost at peak times of the year. 3 questions please: 1. Compost tea. This is a really good bi product captured underneath in a bucket from which I get quite a lot especially after decent rainfall. Please advise whether you dilute this before adding to your garden. If so, what is the ration of tEa to water, please? 2. Can you estimate the mix of browns to greens?? 3. Do you useleaves as a brown, and if so, would they be new or rotting leaves, or both? Thanks again Paul from UK

I have owned Joracan New Era 127 since 2017. I really like how fast compost can be made in it. On 23 of June I will discharging my 2nd batch for this year. To get more compost I use 1 gallon Kitchen compost pail with 2 cups wood pellets in it for use at home, I also have 2 x 1.85 US gallon which I put close to 3 cups wood pellets in each, I send 1 x 1.85 gallon (7 litre ) kitchen compost pail to sister-in-law’s place and when full I pick up and I give her the 2nd 1.85 gallon kitchen compost pail. Doing this gives me enough compost to recharge my raised garden beds. I keep finished compost in large tote which I keep in shed as I currently don’t have garage.

Excellent review. Can you tell me the amount of wood pellets you put in with the nitrogen kitchen wastes. Thanx much.

Thank you for all this information. I live in Northeast USA and just bought a plastic compost tumbler. It’s obviously dead of winter here. I could place it downstairs in the unfinished part of my basement. Is that a bad idea? Is outside a pointless endeavor in freezing temps?

Thanks, how many gallons is that tumbler?

I have looked at 20+ videos on the Jora composters. I've been trying to decide if I should buy the 125 (in this video) or 270 medium one. I'm leaning towards the 270 (medium), but my worry is that if I don't have the garden or kitchen waste to sustain the hot temperature needed, will it still work?

Hi, Thank-you so much for this review. I'm thinking of buying this composter, after my plastic one fell apart within a 1yr. I don't know which size to get. Are you happy with the 125l size? Would you get the same size again or 270l ? Any problems with fruit flies?

Hi, thank you for the video. Is this the Jora Compost 125 or 270. I think it is the 125. Thank you again.

It does take away the work of manually mixing up compost. 👍

Compost piles only take more than a year if you aren't flipping it. If you flip it every 1-2 days and add a good balance of browns, greens and water, and have a big pile, it can be ready in 2 months imo. My pile took from late November to late May to be ready here in southern Ontario, and that's with it being dormant for 2 months in winter and only being flipped every 2-3 days during the last month in that period, and not having enough greens.

If you don't turn it it should be ready in about a year if you're in a climate like ours that has biological activity go (mostly) dormant in winter.

I do think tumblers have their place - they require less effort to turn than big piles. The benefit of piles is they're free and there's no limit to how much material you can put in them.

Just wonder if you can get organic wood chip pellets in Canada, if so where? Nobody likes to serve contaminated veggies to our children's. Greetings from Edmonton.
