The ideal material for worm bedding is coconut coir.
You can compost a lot more in Subpod than in other worm farm systems.
You don’t need to chop everything up small for the worms, but it does speed up the process so your food will break down even faster.
After 2-3 months or when your Subpod is full, you can harvest your Subpod compost.
No it shouldn’t. Subpod’s built-in ventilation panels have small holes that keep out bugs, pests and rodents, whilst allowing air to flow in. Just make sure the ‘worm holes’ in the sides of the Subpod are covered with soil so nothing can sneak in.
Ants are attracted to dry conditions, so this is usually an indicator that your Subpod is too dry.
Fruit flies can enter Subpod when you are adding your food waste. They can also get into the system before your food scraps are added to Subpod if there’s a loose lid.
If your Subpod smells, it indicates that food is rotting before the worms can eat it or there is not enough oxygen in the system.
To keep the worms happy while you’re away, buy a pumpkin (or use one that is starting to rot), cut it in half and lay the open sides face down on the top of the bedding of the Subpod.
