The Subpod Classic is an in-ground worm composting system. Bury the bottom of the Subpod in a raised bed and watch it converts household organic waste into nutrient-rich soil, while doubling as a handsome and hardy garden bench!
Overview
The Subpod is designed to turn household waste into nutrient rich soil! It rests just below ground, or in a raised garden bed. The lid is subtly visible above ground, doubling up as the perfect garden seat! Composting with the Subpod is stress-free with all the basic instructions you need to get started right under the lid. The worms help to turn the soil, for quicker decomposition.
The Subpod creates a safe environment for composting worms and aerobic (odorless) microbes to convert organic household waste into vermicompost. Worms move through the perforations underground, aerating and carrying those nutrients into the surrounding soil, creating an optimal and fertile environment for plants to thrive.
The Subpod can be installed directly into the ground or in an existing raised garden bed.
Features & Benefits:
- In garden system allows worms to work directly in the soil
- Quick and easy assembly
- Instructions right on the lid for easy operation
- Dual compost chamber
- Suitable for households of 4-8 people
- Odorless operation
- Beautiful aesthetic design and doubles as a garden seat
- Subpod measures 29.5" L x 17.7" W x 16.9" H
- Internal volume of 30 gallons, (115 liters)
- 2 year manufacturer's warranty
Composting worms can be purchased here, or from a variety of local hardware stores or online sources.
Taking Care of Your Worms
Worms are low maintenance and will be happy as long as they are fed, have enough moisture, and are kept between 40° - 80° F.
You don't need to feed your worms every day – just add scraps as you have them. Worms can survive up to 2 weeks without any new food. Worms reproduce inside the bin according to their space limitations. They will regulate their own population, so you never need to worry about overcrowding your Subpod.
It is very important that the Subpod is not overfed. Worms prefer to eat their food as it begins to decompose, but not if it has become slimy and smelly. You should not add more than 1" of new scraps at once time, and uneaten food should not exceed 2" deep.
What to Feed your Worms:
Most fruit and vegetable scraps, pulps from juicer
Cooked food
Tea leaves/bags and coffee grounds
Crushed/ground eggshells
Hair, vacuum cleaner dust, soiled paper, tissue, paper towels, shredded egg cartons
Shredded newspaper, cardboard, sawdust (untreated), wood ash
Lawn clippings in small quantities, weeds, clippings, prunings, dirt and leaves
What to Avoid or Limit:
Limit citrus and acidic fruit skin
Limit bread, pasta and other wheat based products
Avoid hard fruit pits
Limit spice foods, onions, garlic and leeks
Limit animal products such as meat, dairy, or fats
Avoid shiny paper
Do not feed rotten food to your worms
Subpod can also process spicy herbs and peppers, dairy foods and oils, but it’s best to introduce these types of substances slowly, in small pieces, in small amounts at first, and only after your worms are fully established (around three months).
