Review: Every household with a garden should own one of these. - I have used a Juraform 270 litre insulated composter for many years. I have used various forms of composting methods including other commercial composters. This is by far the best commercial composter on the market for domestic use. I fill mine with garden and kitchen waste including raw meat etc. To establish a good mix of nitrogen (greens) and carbon I purchase a supply of wood pellets from my local pet store. The wood pellets have a multi purpose. Firstly they provide carbon, secondly they help mix the contents in the tumbler as you spin the tumbler which in turn provides oxygen and thirdly they help to absorb excess water from the kitchen and garden waste. The right mix of nitrogen and carbon creates the perfect environment for microorganisms to break down the waste and create heat. The heat helps to kill seeds e.g. weed seeds and also to kill disease from garden waste e.g. blight on tomato plant leaves etc. Tomato seeds do tend to be very resistant to heat so beware that your finished compost might sprout some tomatoes plants here and there. In the warmer summer months, it only takes about 3 weeks to convert garden and kitchen waste into useable compost. In the winter it takes longer. As there are two compartments, it’s best to fill one compartment to about 90% full and then start filling the second compartment. Once the second compartment is full the contents of the first compartment should be ready to use. I fully recommend this composter. It’s by far one of the best tools I have ever purchased and has transformed my mindset in regards to recycling. I reckon the Government should be subsidising this product to help this country manage food and garden waste and at the same time help change people’s mindsets. In return we create good compost for our garden whether that’s used for flowers, fruits or vegetables. I now go one step further and feed my home made compost to worms in a home made horizontal worm migration bin and create lots of worm castings.
Review: Instructions came in Swedish! - We've just started using our composter. It seems to be great - I have high hopes of great easy compost for the garden. It took two grown men over 3 hours to assemble - it's fiddly and the assembly instructions aren't IKEA standard. The instructions on how to use were in Swedish (not super helpful for non-Scandis). However, I found the instructions on-line and downloaded.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐ Disappointing product
*by M***T on 4 January 2017*

Had high hopes of this product, it arrived well packaged and I and a couple of friends set about assembling it. Very disappointed to encounter problems with panels that didn't go together as expected, the insulation seemed to be proud on a number of panels and only through brute strength did we manage to get the self tapping fixings in place. Noticed that there was daylight between most of the panel joints and wasn't overly surprised when water ingress through these ill fitting panels made the proposed compost very wet. Used a silicone sealer on the ill fitting joints and things are better but I will wait and see how things develop. Perhaps I just got a 'Friday afternoon' unit or maybe it's a very good idea poorly executed ( and I speak as someone who built up an engineering manufacturing company from scratch such that I was able to sell it for many millions and retire at 56 I.e. I am not a mug punter when it comes to manufacturing and engineering) Overall I would think that caution should be exercised if you buy a Joraform, at the first sign of ill fitting parts, package it up and send it back, I should have !
