The average family generates 7kg (15lbs) of food waste a week, just for reference.
Once you have filled one tray in your worm composting kit, there are a few things you can do to continue the composting process:
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.
Worm composters, also known as worm bins or vermicomposters, produce a liquid known as worm tea or leachate.
After 2-3 months or when your Subpod is full, you can harvest your Subpod compost.
What to do if the worms try to escape from your worm composter! There could be several reasons why your worms are trying to escape on the first night:
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.
The ideal material for worm bedding is coconut coir.
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.
