Perfect for reducing waste
We bought the Joraform Little Pig about 9 months ago through Vitality 4 Life. It is great for reducing our food waste that was ending up in the landfill. The main reason for buying this was to add valuable nutrients to our garden and also reduce our weekly rubbish. Since having the Joraform we only have one small bag of rubbish a month. The rest goes to compost or recycle as we are aiming to live plastic free.
The after service from Vitality was not as great as I would have liked. I reached out to them to get advice around how to stop flies...Read more
Purchased in October 2021 for $595.00.

Just a little dissappointed
Firstly it was really hard to use the self tapping screws and we had to drill the holes out in the metal before screwing them in. We had to ring to get instructions that you force the plastic screws through the rubber inner also as we had no idea how to get them in. Now together it seems to compost really well, is easy to use and looks amazing. Best of all no more rats!

Efficient, used on an apartment balcony!
I could not be happier with my Joraform Little Pig. I have a penthouse balcony space of 100m2 in suburban Sydney, Australia and in one area I created a work space in which I have two worm farms, storage and the Joraform Little Pig. Every piece of green and brown material that I can find, including kitchen and household waste, goes into these composting units.
The Jorform Little Pig is well designed and not too difficult to assemble. Unlike cheaply made mass produced items, the parts are precision manufactured so all edges fit together perfectl...Read more
y and all fastenings are strong and fit well. The insulated chambers makes for speedy turnaround of the material - so efficient. I am very impressed with the turning ability of the bin - smooth and well balanced. Easy for any member of the family to grab a handle and spin the tumbler. This is a quality product which demonstrates excellent Swedish engineering. I am keen to convince my Strata committee to invest in the largest bin to provide communcal compoist for our building.

Excellent design but needs some minor improvements
Some attention should be dedicated to end panel connection screws to panels. Stainless screws are prone to thread stripping out before screw has tightened. Ventilation holes are large enough to allow Blowfly access. I've placed a piece of flywire between panel and insulation to eliminate this issue. Catches on doors were fitted slightly out of square and so latch was not aligned with catch and slight mods were required to rectify. Overall a very good design and materials used appear to be of very good quality. Overall happy with the purchase though with more attention to the aforementioned issues this compost tumbler would be nearly perfect.

improvements. The temperature in the compost increases enough to kill any flies entering the compost along with any larvae/eggs etc.A net like screen is being developed though to avoid any insect entry in general via the insulation holes for use in those climates/locations where this is a concern so your screen idea will do the trick whilst still allowing the airflow required for ideal composting process. Thank you again for the feedback JD17 and happy composting !After 3 months or so of use I'm now convinced that my concerns with flies and insects invading the compost were unfounded. Certainly a few flies were evident when initiating first batch but once compo... Read more

Great composter wish I found this sooner
Great design and the quality of the construction justifies the cost. This unit was purchased to replace a plastic single bin tumbler I had unsuccessfully used for a year despite my careful attention to the C/N ratios. Perhaps I wasn't doing something right but with the Joraform Little Pig my current batch is already starting to heat up and cook. Things that make this composter great:
1) Balanced rotation so its easy to tumble. My previous one would get quite difficult as the compost sit at one end of the bin.
2) Water doesn't easily enter. ...Read more

Makes composting so easy!!
We love our Joraform Little Pig composer. The double chamber design makes composting very convenient (we are already onto our second batch). It has taken around 2 months for the compost to mature. It's easy to turn and has a nice quality feel - much better than the plastic ones you see in the hardware store. The high stand means you can easily get the wheelbarrow underneath. Our rubbish has reduced to less than one bag a week - great for someone looking to reduce their waste.

oth the working and the finishing chambers at once and not need a second bin or to stop composting like you do with single chamber of compost bins. We love the many benefits of the product and the positive contribution to the environment so are very happy to hear us customers appreciate this as well. Happy composting Lisa !Similar opinion?

Insulated, Spins and Two Bins!
Great small size composter, we have produced good compost within a month, the two separate bins assist in planning production.
The insulation enhances the unit's performance with even break down of all raw materials.
Sturdy and balanced construction adds to it's ease of use, the raised barrel makes the unit easy to fill, tumble and empty.
Here's to many years of compost magic!

So glad we purchased this composter
We have a small backyard and were keen to find a method of composting our kitchen scraps in a vermin proof composter. It was essential that it had twin bins so one lot could develop while a new lot is started. We had read reviews that the composter was tricky to assemble but watched a youtube clip on its assembly and had no problems at all. So far - it has only been a couple of weeks - all is going fine. The scraps and sufficient "brown" material are being added and the compost is tumbling away. I am looking forward to making some great compost to put on my garden pots.

Questions & Answers
Laura Lasked
Hi, I am trying to decide if the 125 or 270 would suit us. We try to consume largely a plant based diet and do a bit of juicing so we have a fair bit of kitchen scrap to compost. In a week I filled about 20 litres of a small bin with scraps (including some additional leaves and shredded paper waste) so am leaning towards the 270? We are a household of 4. Are you better off going for one that is slightly larger than too small. The 125 looks fairly small? Grateful for your advice. Thanks
1 answer
Vitality L.Joraform
Hi there Laura, thanks for the great question. Yes I would always go larger. The reason is if you cram too much into them it isn't good for airflow and the breaking down of the produce into compost. The quality of compost can become too wet and dank if over filling.

We bought a joraform little pig 6 weeks ago. We now have an infestation of blue bottle fly. Can you tell us how we prevent this happening in future?

Vitality L.Joraform
Hi Emma, thanks for getting in touch. Have you checked the seals are all good and no holes anywhere? Sometimes if its left open too long they can get in and stay. Can you please contact us through [email protected] and I will check what the best thing to do is for you. Sorry to hear about those nasties we will try and sort this out. Have a great day Vitality4life Team.
I've had the same issue with infestation and I raised this issue when I purchased the Pig around 12 months ago. The retailer responded to my concerns and suggested they would take this issue up with the manufacturer but obviously little has been done to address this problem. I've developed an idea which has gone someway to controlling the problem with fly larvae. I've fitted some removable flyscreens to breather holes which can be cleaned if compost covers the screens. Problem with unit is that ventilation holes are too large and allows flies entry and particularly so if compost is in a cool state. Just taping some screen material over vents will work but tend to cover with compost material eventually and probably restrict air flow and so I made some removable screen vents with stormwater stops and the system operates well. Other than that composter works well though I notice that the support frame is corroding where the fluid leaks during process and I'll need to address that issue as well.
Nathan J.asked
Hi there, I'm basically trying to toss up between the 125L or 270L in terms of size. I live in a household of maximum 5 people. However, as its a share rental property, it may easily one day change to 4, 3 or, if I'm lucky, 2 people one day. I'm also not entirely convinced that our eating habits fill a chamber quickly, but maybe they do? Basically, is better to go with the smaller one that we know we'd fill, or a bit bigger to keep on the long term safe side? I also live in London, UK, a weather system similar to Melbourne, so perhaps that helps in determining?
1 answer
Vitality L.Joraform
Hi Nathan thanks for your inquiry. I believe going for the 125L Little Pig would be most sufficient as it will compost for up to 4-6 people. The larger one will compost the capacity of a 10-12 person household which would be too much for you. So definitely keep to the 125L I am sure you will find that optimal. Anything else we can assist with please do not hesitate to contact us. Happy composting the Vitality4life team.
