Back in stock Now

We can't believe how quick and efficient this composter is. The Joraform Compost Tumbler takes up very little room and composts so fast you struggle to keep it full. No rodent problems or strong smells, fits easily in a small garden. You can even add cooked meat and fish waste! This unique digester is a home composting system that will recycle household food waste and garden waste of up to 1.5kgs daily.
The "Little Pig" digester is like a large mechanical stomach that literally digests the organic matter you feed it.
A fully insulated, 95cm x 83cm bin that bolts on to the side of your house, it’s clean,
self-contained, and it turns food waste into rich compost faster than the average household can fill it

The Little Pig is so well insulated that the internal temperature reaches 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
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 Little Pig 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!
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.

Love my little pig. Ive had it a couple of years now. He will consume garden and kitchen waste in no time at all. I have a small new estate garden with no room for a traditional composter. Luckily I have a metre wide alley between my garage and the neighbours, which is perfect for the pig. Tucked away, tidy, no smells; churning out compost for my raised veg beds in no time. I use wood pellets for the brown component and it works perfectly. I find it more difficult to keep going through the winter months but it works really well and hard through spring g to autumn. A bit tricky to assemble single handedly,but I still managed it! Highly recommended. Proves the old adage which I always follow: you get what you pay for!

Without a doubt the best composter i have ever had. During the summer i was getting full compost out of one of the chambers in 4/5 weeks. Delighted with it. Took me a bit of time to get the mix right but once i did i was away

The Little Pig was straightforward to assemble. We bought it 2 mnths ago and I just used the first compost from one half. It's very effective and has turned out to be quite a topic of conversation! Great purchase, thanks Quick crop. Siobhan, Dundalk

Quickcrop delivered our juroform composter promptly and in perfect condition.Thanks to the excellent on-line video, I was well able,with some help from grandson, to put it together.As we have mostly kitchen waste,I took Naill's tip of shredded paper and cardboard as source of carbon. I chop my scraps very finely and control the moisture by mixing with the paper/cardboard before putting in the juroform, and on day 12, it was steaming and not in the least soggy or smelly.We are so impressed and I will add an update when we have our first load of compost.So far...Excellent product, no more dumped kitchen waste and less newspapers for recycling.

This feels like a prototype or Mark 1, which means that it does take an effort and quite a long time to get it all assembled. But it is robust when you get it done. This may be Swedish and flatpack but it is not like putting together an IKEA product! Thank goodness for Niall's excellent video. My brother and I assembled the composter following the step by step instructions on youtube. And it still took a couple of hours. Is it worth it? Well we put in quite a bit of kitchen scraps over several days, then we have been away for about three weeks. I opened the compartment this morning to reveal a steaming, brown mixture - a complete transformation. Smelly, but very effective!

Delivery from quickcrop was really fast. Assembly will take about an hour, possible to do on your own but easier to do with 2 people.Material is of good quality which is reassuring given the price. Great size, fits neatly even in a small garden.

The assembly instructions that come with this Composter are no use. Go to YouTube to get instructions. The self-tapping screws are not good: they either strip the thread of the holes they are supposed to go into, or the screws themselves lose their thread. I had to use some of my own screws. Joraform should substitute them with good nuts and bolts. It would be a much better job. I think the Composter itself will work well as it seems to be breaking down the material well after two weeks. Time will tell.

Asked By Andrea

Hi, is it ok to put tea bags in the composter? Mixed views on the internet re micro plastics in them. Thanks

Answered by Niall
on March 22nd, 2021

Hi Andrea I put Tea Bags in mine and they break down very well however you are right about the microplastics. A lot of Tea bag manufacturers are now moving away from microplastics so it might be best to get a brand that doesn't use them and then it is 100% ok to put them in the Joraform as they break down lovely Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Christopher Matthews
on March 13th, 2021

This is the second JK125 I have had. The present one about 8 to 10 years. In both cases the insulation has worn out, especially the centre divider. Is it possible to get an insulation kit for all the panels and ends as the rest of the unit is in reasonable condition? Both units have given very good service and it seems a pity to throw it away like the first one .

Answered by Niall
on March 13th, 2021

Hi Christopher Yes of course. We can supply you with whatever you need to replace the insulation. If you email in directly to our customer service team we can get that sorted for you Ask for me when you email in. Niall Quickcrop

Hi Folks delighted with my little pig , bought in July, now using my first lot of compost. Can I put out of date eggs in the little pig. ?

Answered by Niall
on November 19th, 2020

Hi Deirdre You can of course. They may add a bad smell to the compost mix for a few days but that will pass Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Michelle
on September 12th, 2020

Hi Niall hope you’re well. Regarding emptying the Little Pig what wheel barrow & the tools would I need? Thanks a million 🙂

Answered by Niall
on September 14th, 2020

Hi Michelle The lower down the wheelbarrow the better. That said i empty it from the front and it works very well with a standard wheelbarrow. No tools really needed. A hand trowel maybe Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Claire Benbrook
on August 23rd, 2020

I’m not sure whether to go for little or big pig. I live alone but have a 3 acre garden with plenty of material for composting. I usually would fill a dustbin a week with garden rubbish and 2 small kitchen caddies with food waste. I always have loads of cardboard too from online shopping! This year I have bought 2 tonne bags of compost, the same of mulch and 10 smaller potting compost bags. Could you advise please? Thanks.

Answered by Niall
on August 24th, 2020

Hi Claire Normally with a house of 1 person i would say the Little Pig would be plenty however with the amount of waste you seem to be producing i would encourage you to go with the JK270 Big Pig. It is better to have the additional composting space than not enough Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Ron Abbott
on August 19th, 2020

Can you place dog waste into this composter?

Answered by Niall
on August 19th, 2020

Hi Ron You certainly can however i would not over fill it with this as the compost temperatures will be effected and this is what you need to get the compost to break down sufficiently Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Orla
on August 14th, 2020

Hi, I have the little pig up and running and on the first batch. I had thought I'd filled it to the half way mark. I couldnt help sneaking a peek after two weeks and notice the contents has totally reduced down to quite a small amount- can I add more to the composter now or should I wait it out? Thanks

Answered by Niall
on August 17th, 2020

Hi Orla That is actually good news as it shows that the composting is working well. You can rebuild it up to half way full until the composting process is complete Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Deirdre O Callaghan
on July 22nd, 2020

Hi I received my little pig this week , thanks for such quick delivery. However on assembling which was easy I noted I didn't receive the metal plate to cover the compost when one compartment is ready? This plate is mentioned in the advertisement. Thanks Deirdre

Answered by Niall
on July 23rd, 2020

Hi Deirdre The metal plate is not something that Joraform supply any longer as the newer version doesn't require it. You may have been looking at an older version a few years back. The new system is a lot more efficient Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Alice donovan
on July 11th, 2020

Hi folks, I am interested in the JK125 and am a novice when it comes to composting. Will it work As well if put it in a shady part of the garden? Will it work throughout winter months too? Thanks,

Answered by Niall
on July 13th, 2020

Hi Alice The Joraforms will work just as well if left in sunshine or a shed to be honest as it is the internal temperature created by the foam surrounds on the inside that create the heat. It will work year round however it does slow down a little in the depths of the winter. Instead of 6 week turnaround time it will move to 8 to 10 weeks in the depths of winter Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Chris Burke
on May 04th, 2020

Hi Niall, Can it deal with bindweed as its growing in my grass and at the edge of hedges? Thanks Christopher.

Answered by Niall
on May 05th, 2020

Hi Chris Yes in short as the temperatures gets so high in the unit it will be able to deal with them. However if putting Bind weed in i would be tempted to put the compost through two full cycles of the unit just to 100% get rid of them. In truth it might be easier to build a pile for the bind weed and burn it as it is so invasive even the smallest piece left will spread again Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Paul
on April 29th, 2020

Hi Niall, Many thanks for dispatching my JK 125. We assembled it at the weekend thanks to your very helpful video; instructions were brutal! Just a quick question, do you sell the brackets for wall mounting and is the same frame used when mounted on the wall? Many thanks, Paul

Answered by Niall
on April 30th, 2020

Hi Paul No it is not the same frame for wall assembly but to be honest we stopped selling the wall brackets as we felt we couldn't stand over them. Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Paul hickey
on April 10th, 2020

I have jk125 little pig and it's beginning to show its age. I have it many years and it's the type with one compartment divided in two. I intent to buy a new one and I hope to use my existing wall mounted bracket. Therefore can I buy the new composted without a stand.

Answered by Niall
on April 10th, 2020

Hi Paul I am afraid they come in the box with a frame however if you come back to me in a few weeks time when things are not so busy i am sure we will be able to sort something out. On that front if you want one before August you might be best to order now as we are likely to be sold out by the end of this month for quite some time Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Amy Judge
on March 28th, 2020

Hi, I’m dithering between the big and little pig composters. I live alone so kitchen waste is relatively low, (about 25 litres per month), but I have quite a big garden (0.5 acres) and would have plenty coming out of it in future. Which would you suggest? Is there a minimum below which the big pig won’t operate? Can they take weeds?

Answered by Megan
on March 28th, 2020

Hi amy - the JK125 would be the one to go for there. If you wanted something smaller, the Hotbin Mini (100L) could also be a good option for you. Meg @ Quickcrop

Asked By Gosia
on March 27th, 2020

Can I put my dog poop into it?

Answered by Niall
on March 27th, 2020

Hi Gosia You can of course however you would need to keep the amount in it to about 5% of the overall compost volume Niall Quickcrop

Asked By PJ
on March 19th, 2020

Thanks Niall for your comprehensive video on construction as the instructions that came with was far than ideal. I find it very good, just wondering how long it takes for one side to fully finish and how do I prevent paper from forming a ball? Many thanks PJ

Answered by Niall
on March 20th, 2020

Hi PJ The more shredded the paper when it goes in the less likely it is to clump. Once you have the first side three quarters full move on to the 2nd side. It should take the 1st side roughly 4/6 weeks to fully compost for the garden Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Janet
on January 10th, 2020

As an 82 year old lady of declining strength!! Would I find the 270 too heavy to turn? I live alone with 3 dogs, 2 indoor cats using wood pellet litter and 4 hens plus garden waste. Which would you recommend? I n

Answered by Niall
on January 10th, 2020

HI Janet The Joraforms are actually quite easy to turn even when full. That said if you are living alone even with your dogs and cats the JK125 should be plenty big and this is particularly easy to turn Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Michelle
on August 18th, 2019

Heya can I add food waste, ie take away leftovers or pizza into the Little Pig? Thank you :)

Answered by Niall
on August 19th, 2019

Hi Michelle All cooked or uncooked kitchen waste can be added to the Pigs as they are sealed so no rodents can get near the waste and the heat they create will break it all down very quickly Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Katie sweetman
on August 11th, 2019

Hi We are a family of 1 adult, 2 children, 1 rabbit and 2 cats. We have a small garden, with no much garden waste other that tree pruning and weeding waste. I was wondering if the little pig would be enough to handle cooked food waste, small amount of garden waste, straw/hay with rabbit waste and cat litter box with wood pellets as litter. Many thanks for advise/tips Katie

Answered by Niall
on August 12th, 2019

Hi Katie The cat a rabbit waste along with the wood pellets will actually work really well in the mix. You will need to make sure to add in plenty or torn up cardboard and paper from the house as well to add brown waste to the mix and in an ideal world some grass clippings as the Nitrogen from these helps create heat in the mix which seriously helps the break down process Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Alanna
on August 10th, 2019

Our Little Pig is attracting flies, maggots and now wasps. I am putting a large bowl of mixed scraps and newspaper or cardboard strips into it daily. Today when I spun it three wasps flew out tje ventilation holes. Any advice?

Answered by Niall
on August 12th, 2019

Hi Alanna Fruit flies are not a major issue however if the heat is building up in it you certainly shouldn't have any maggots and definitely not wasps. To get heat back in to the mix you will need to add a small amount of cut grass from your garden and then some torn up cardboard and paper. Turn this and you will see the heat build again. This will kill off any unwanteds in the mix Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Cathy Burke
on July 19th, 2019

Hi and thank you for your excellent advice and shop. We are trying to move toward zero waste as a family of 5, inc 3 kids 12 to 7 yrs and cats. We would like to be able to compost cat litter and can source different types of biodegradable litter, e.g. maize or wood pellet based. We understand there is a risk of parasites not being killed if temperatures in the digester is not hot enough, and so we are inclined not to digest it as we would want to use the compost on a veg garden. Have you any experience of digesting pet litter and can you advise further. One option we would consider is two digesters, one for general garden, one for veg but it's a very significant investment. Also can you really get away with digesting perennial weedings like ragwort or thistle? Which size would you advise for us? Thanks in advance!

Answered by Niall
on July 23rd, 2019

Hi Cathy Provided you get the mix right you will get the temperatures easily up to 65/70 degrees in the Joraform and in that case cat litter is not an issue at all. We have plenty of customers using the Joraform and putting in cat litter. You will need the JK270 for the size family you have so i would suggest this will be large enough and you certainly won't need 2 Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Rebecca
on July 04th, 2019

Is there a requirement for it to be situated in a sunny spot? How is it mounted to a wall, if the stand is not used? Thanks in advance.

Answered by Niall
on July 05th, 2019

Hi Rebecca As the Joraforms are very well sealed and insulated putting it in a sunny spot doesn't make a huge amount of difference so no it doesn't need to be put in a sunny spot. We don't supply wall mounting brackets as with the weight of the unit once full it may not be safe so the floor mounted stand is the best way to go Niall Quickcrop

Asked By John Lawlor
on June 29th, 2019

Hi, We've been using the 125 for a few weeks now and there are quite a few maggots in it. Is there anything we can do about this? also, it doesn't appear to be very hot inside and we are in the middle of a hot spell with the composter in a sunny spot in the garden. John

Answered by Niall
on July 01st, 2019

Hi John The maggots will break down the compost for you however they shouldn't be in it once you build up heat in it. It sounds like you might have either a mix that is to wet or to dry hence the heat is not getting going. We are about to produce an instructional video on how best to get the mix right which will be available in the coming weeks. In the meantime if you want to call the office and ask for me i might be able to help you out. Niall Quickcrop

Asked By John
on June 17th, 2019

Hi, I have just received my composter. But the center foam divider has gaps all around so the contents from one compartment can seep into the other. This can't be by design?

Answered by Andrew
on June 18th, 2019

Hi John. Could I ask you to send a photo of the gaps to andrew@quickcrop.ie. There should not be gaps but this would no effect the function of the unit. I wonder if the central foam core is aligned correctly? If not this would cause some gaps. I look forward to assisting with this. Andrew

Asked By Pauline O' Reilly
on May 12th, 2019

Can you compost weeds?

Answered by Niall

Hi Pauline Absolutely. That is one of the great things about them. The heat they get up to kills off any weed seeds so perfect for this. Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Clive Lewis
on March 12th, 2019

1) I use the composting collection bags at pressent in my cade will i still be able to use them will they compost in the tumbler to. 2) Would I be able to use the sawdust / wood chips sold in a pet store for animal bedding. 3) Would this tumbeler be to big for me as i live on my own and just getting in to vegitable gardening.

Answered by Niall
on March 12th, 2019

Hi Clive You can use the caddy bags in the Joraform no problem as the heat will break them down nicely I am not 100% sure on the pet wood chips but i can't imagine they are much different from the ones we supply. We have plenty of customers using the JK125 living on their own and they work very well for them. Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Michelle Parker

How do you empty the product?

Answered by Niall
on March 04th, 2019

Asked By Frances Darcy
on October 17th, 2018

Our juraform was steaming but after few days went cool again. This happened x3. I have now started on 2nd drum but contents of 1st drum has formed like golf-balls and is cool.Is this OK and will the balls degrade.

Answered by Niall
on October 17th, 2018

Hi Frances It takes time to get used to the mix you are adding but it sounds like you had the mix perfect and then added to much wet material instead of brown material. I wouldn't worry about the balls forming this is just moisture trapped in balls of compost keeping them together. You can break these up once you empty the contents and it is ready for spreading in your garden Regards Niall Quickcrop

We are a family of 5: 2 adults 3 children would small pig be big enough. Also we live in a very windy place is frame sturdy?

Answered by Niall
on September 04th, 2018

Hi Carmel I use the JK270 for a family of the same size and i have to be honest i need the additional size. It totally depends on how much waste you produce from your kitchen and garden. The frame and unit itself is very sturdy and won't blow over once you start to use it and have compost in it. Regards Niall Quickcrop

on July 16th, 2018

Does the Joraform Compost Tumbler take raw food as well as cooked food?

Answered by Niall
on July 17th, 2018

Morning Yes it will take both cooked and raw food. As it is off the ground and vermin proof there is no issue there and the heat in it will break down whatever you add to it. It might be best to not put large bones in. Other than that everything is fine to go in from the kitchen and garden Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Frances Darcy
on July 02nd, 2018

We are thinking of buying the Joraform. We have small garden, and so not much garden waste at times. Would partly-composted material from our dalek-style bin be a fair substitude?

yes, the Joraform will easily compost that

on May 23rd, 2018

Hi,I think I should apologise to you for my earlier inaccurate accusations!! It seems that there was or is a JK125 which is much lower to the ground but there also seems to be a version of the JK125 that does have room for a wheelbarrow beneath it????My sincere apologies.I am definitely confused.

Answered by Niall
on May 24th, 2018

Hi Ann No problem. Glad to be able to clarify this anyway Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Ann Sanders
on May 23rd, 2018

Hi,can I ask how does one remove the compost from the JK125 seeing a barrow doesn't fit under it?Throw it out on a sheet? I msut say I am a bit disappointed in the inaccurate photo of the JK125, the photo is clearly not a JK125 and in fact is probably the JK270.I didn't realise this until I went on a website that actually does show the proper image so now I am left wondering how to take away the compost as obviously a bucket won't do it.Not good

Answered by Niall
on May 24th, 2018

Hi Ann The photos on the website for the Joraform 125 are the actual 125 unit alright and not the 270. It does fit a wheelbarrow underneath it but not a large one so this might be your issue. That said i empty my compost from my 125 in to a large fish bucket that i have but i suppose you could just tip it on to a large sheet as you suggest. Sorry if you think it is misleading but the photos are accurate. Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Larry Reynolds
on March 27th, 2018

Hi,two questions please- We hope to get 2-3 hens in the near future....can I use their manure in the Little Pig? We are a two person household with no garden waste to speak of and mostly only veg peelings egg shells, bits and pieces of paper etc.Will this work for us or do we need more waste to put in it?Thank you.Larry

Answered by Niall
on March 27th, 2018

Hi Larry Chicken waste is excellent for the Joraform. I have chickens myself and the chicken manure seems to really give it a boost and help create extra heat. It sounds like the JK125 Little Pig is fine for you just make sure to use about one third brown waste when adding to it such as paper and cardboard just shredded or torn up Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Frances Kelly
on January 15th, 2018

The waste in our composted is very sludgy. How can we make it dryer?

Answered by Niall
on January 15th, 2018

You need to add more Brown waste to get the right mix. Shredded up cardboard or paper. Garden leaves or wood pellets will do the trick.

Asked By Rozz
on September 20th, 2017

We have this for last month! Nothing seemed to be happening at first but this week there was loads of steam! It seems to be breaking everything down really well but when we open it, it does smell. Is this normal as meat etc has gone in? It looks black and sludgy. When is it ready, find it hard to locate much info on using the little pig! Thanks Rozz

Answered by Andrew
on September 21st, 2017

Hi Rozz. We will have a video ready around late November on how best to use the Pigs. In relation to smell first. You need to add more carbon such shredded paper or cardboard or wood pellets. This will bring the contents back to a more compost like material. Also once the heat starts to be generated which it clearly is now i would turn it roughly every 2/3 days.

Asked By Moira Lonergan
on September 03rd, 2017

I am finding the use of 'little pig' somewhat difficult. We are a two person household so the amount of household waste is small. I supplement this with some garden waste, brown and white paper, cardboard from centre of toilet rolls, egg cartons, egg shells and also some wood chips. The temperature is raised but nothing like those expected. Have you any more advice or leaflets?

Answered by Andrew
on September 04th, 2017

Hi Moira. There is no leaflet on how to best use these units but we will be doing a video on this in the coming weeks which should help. In the meantime if you stick to the broad principal of a third kitchen waste, a third garden waste and a third brown waste (cardboard, paper, shredded wood or clippings etc)

Asked By Moira Lonergan
on June 26th, 2017

Is this composter suitable for composting general garden waste?

Answered by Andrew
on June 27th, 2017

Hi Moira. Yes. The Joraform will take almost any waste apart from bones but everything else from the kitchen or garden is perfectly fine.

Asked By Moira Lonergan
on June 21st, 2017

Does above Compost Tumbler need to be in a sunny position or may it be placed in a duller area in garden?

Answered by Andrew
on June 22nd, 2017

Hi Moira. The compost bin will work fine in a shaded area of the garden. The heat is inside is generated by the bacteria breaking down the waste and is kept in by the insulation. Outside temperature does make a difference but this is more seasonal variations rather than sun and shade.

Asked By Chris O'Dell
on March 06th, 2017

Your photograph of this device shows it free standing on a metal support, but in the text you say it bolts to the side of the house, which would not be suitable for me as I would need it to be free standing. Which is correct?

Answered by Andrew

interested in this for composting household waste, 3 adults in the house, would you think the small one would be suitable for us

Hi Jackie. The JK 125 compost bin will be ideal for 3 adults. Make sure you keep adding waste every day to keep the heat up, you will be unlikely to keep up with it as it composts so quickly. I hope this helps. Andrew

Can I put all cooked scraps into it or are there some items that should not added? Catriona

Hi Catriona. Great question. You can put almost any cooked foods in the Joraform composters as the heat generated breaks down the waste very quickly. Bones might be the only thing i would avoid but everything else is good.

Hi guys, just watched the video. What gets added in with the food waste?

Answered by Andrew
on January 27th, 2016

Thank you for your question Helen. You can add wood pellets but to be honest if you tear up waste cardboard and paper from the house you won't need to add anything other than your garden and kitchen waste.

Does it come assembled?

Answered by Andrew

Thanks for the question Pat. No it doesn't come assembled however it comes in two boxes and the sides are already assembled so it literally takes half an hour to build one including the frame.
