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.
If your worms are not moving to the next tray, there could be a few reasons:
Worm blankets are made of a water-absorbing, air-permeable and light blocking fabric.
You can compost a lot more in Subpod than in other worm farm systems.
You can do - they will definitely help work through the material.
Creating quality composts takes approximately 2-3 months.
When you empty your castings and compost, the worms will not be with the castings, but where the food is, on the other side of the Subpod divider.
Do not put intensely spicy foods into your worm composter, such as ginger or an excessive amount of citruses, as well as milk products, meat products, bones, oils, lard and other fats.
Your wormery composter is particularly suitable for peelings and leftovers of fruit and vegetables, such as potato peels, apple cores, green tops of vegetables, etc.
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.
