Does my food waste need to be broken up into small pieces before adding to the Subpod?
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.
Composting will still take place in the warm, moist environment if you put in larger chunks. The worms will just wait until the microbes have softened up the more resistant pieces.
Remember to use the aerator when you add food so larger chunks are sent below the surface to break down, rather than drying out.
