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.
This liquid is a very potent fertiliser or drain cleaner and it can have a really strong smell so the best way to avoid this is to drain it regularly and use it.
Your birds will benefit from feeding all year round and live food is important.
It depends… most gardens aren’t ideal for birds as it is difficult to find a lot of natural food if the garden is a mixture of paving and lawn.
Worms are hermaphrodite which means they have both male and female reproductive cells. However, it still takes two to tango… if you know what I mean!
After 2-3 months or when your Subpod is full, you can harvest your Subpod compost.
Avoid grass clippings (as they heat up), glossy printed paper and cardboard (lots of chemicals) Non Biodegradables (of course), Dog and Cat droppings (can carry human pathogens) and raw meat. [more info]
