Worms are decomposers and they consume organic matter and convert it into nutrient-rich compost.
The amount of food that worms can eat depends on the size of your worm bin and the number of worms you have. As a general rule, worms can consume about half their body weight in food per day.
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'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.
Worm tea gives a real boost to your potted plants through the winter.
It allows you to compost directly in your garden allowing the worms and microbes to distribute nutrients into the soil.
Ants in a vermicomposter can be a nuisance, but they are not harmful to the worms or the composting process.
Maggots are the larvae of flies and usually gain access via eggs laid on the food scraps you put in.
