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.
The external dimensions are: 750mm (29.5 in.) L x 450mm (17.7 in.) W x 430mm (16.9 in.) H, including the lid.
You'll need a minimum of 1000 worms, but 2000 is better. If you really want to kick start your Subpod, you can add up to 4000 worms.
Sometimes some of your worms migrate to the sump which is mostly more distressing for you than them to be honest.
It allows you to compost directly in your garden allowing the worms and microbes to distribute nutrients into the soil.
When you add your food scraps and carbon material to the Subpod, you'll need to mix them through using an aerator. This takes a few minutes each time you feed the worms.
The ideal material for worm bedding is coconut coir.
After 2-3 months or when your Subpod is full, you can harvest your Subpod compost.
