See it in action

Easy to use,
every time.

When you introduce fresh waste and turn the tumbler, the new material contacts the already-composting waste — accelerating breakdown and efficiency.

Insulated Composting
Thermal Performance

Insulated to
contain more heat

The composting process generates heat from microorganisms breaking down waste. Jora's heavy-duty insulation traps that heat — pushing internal temperatures above 160°F for faster, more efficient composting.

Because the heat comes from the microorganisms themselves — not the sun — the Jora tumbler works even through cold Nordic winters when other composters have completely stopped.

Dual Chambers
Continuous Cycle

Dual chambers for
non-stop composting

The two-chamber design lets you fill one side while the other matures — you never have to stop composting to wait for a batch to finish. When the filling chamber is full, simply empty the mature side and start fresh.

Rodent Proof
Built to Last

Completely
rodent proof

Elevated off the ground and built with galvanized steel panels (powder coated), tight-fitting latches, and even a padlock ring — making it impossible for any pest to access the compost inside.

FAQs

Common questions

Yes, you really can compost everything (although watery soups and stews should be drained first).
Each time you add waste, you turn it — and that's all you need to do. The central axle makes it effortless.
Yes. Fish bones will thoroughly compost and disappear. Chicken and larger meat bones will be cleaned of meat traces but won't attract pests. Smaller chicken bones like ribs will fully compost given enough time.
Yes, definitely. The legs need to be placed on planks, slabs, or a concrete floor — otherwise when it fills up, it could sink into soft ground.
Any vegetation that isn't hard (like woody stems or branches) can be composted. Hard stems and branches won't break down in time. We do not recommend using wood chips as a substitute for wood pellets or sawdust.
The only commonly indestructible garden seed is the tomato seed. All other seeds will more than likely be destroyed by the heat generated inside the Jora tumbler.
Yes, it's unavoidable — the Jora is not watertight. Wood pellets or sawdust regulate moisture inside. It's vital to drain all kitchen waste of excess liquid before adding it to the tumbler.
In theory, yes — but paper needs to be cross-shredded or it balls up. Cardboard must be cut into small pieces by hand. Consider these as supplements, not substitutes. Coir (coconut fibre) or chopped dry straw also work well.
