Subpod Mini Compost System. Outdoor Compost Bin & Worm Farm

Product Information

OK, so the Subpod prevents smells. Smells in compost come from anaerobic conditions. No compost should go anaerobic or it will smell. The thing is no compost system that’s properly managed need go anaerobic. And in the video on starting the SubPod the commentator warns about putting too much compost in the Subpod at the start or it will turn the compost anaerobic and drive away the worms away.

Welcome to the Subpod family, where we're turning waste into wonder, one Subpod at a time. Happy composting! Flies can also enter the Subpod when you are adding your food waste, or before your food scraps are added to the Subpod. This can happen when there is a loose lid and the sneaky little fruit flies sneak in when you are not looking. My other hesitation over simplicity is the result of so many people who go online asking for advice when they have problems. They seem to find the Subpod far from easy. They may well be a minority but certainly a goo d number of people find the Subpod far from easy. Patience is Key: Composting is a natural process and can take a few weeks to get to full efficency. Be patient, and you'll be rewarded with rich, nutrient-dense compost for your garden. Keep your waste covered as much as possible while you are collecting it, so the flies can’t lay eggs in it before it gets to your compost system. You can use sealed compost bins/containers in your kitchen to seal your food scraps and keep out any unwanted pests.

There are a tonne of reasons why composting is a good idea at your school! These three really resonate with us: We've had countless requests from the community to create a range of products to make composting easy, whether you live in an flat, a terraced home or a detached property in the countryside. Our gardening gurus have duly obliged! While some valid points are raised, this article overlooks one major benefit of Subpod: it makes composting incredibly appealing and inviting to new composters who otherwise wouldn’t pursue composting. Start Small: If you're new to composting, start with small amounts of waste and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the process.

Food waste is a significant global issue. According to the United Nations, approximately one-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted. This waste doesn't just represent lost resources; it also contributes to environmental problems. When food waste ends up in landfills, it decomposes without oxygen, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. As I said earlier I like anything that encourages people to grow their own veg and deal with food waste. And when they provide YouTube videos to explain the system I give them a vote straight away. That’s got to be positive. Balance Your Inputs: For optimal composting, maintain a balance between 'greens' (fruit and vegetable scraps) and 'browns' (dry leaves, paper). Cotton wool balls and pads, tampons, toilet paper cores and even natural latex condoms and gloves can go into Subpod. Old clothing, face washers, napkins, tablecloths and very old towels can be used as long as they are made from natural fibres like cotton, tencel, linen, hemp or wool (no polyester, nylon, acrylic or blends) – just shred them into small pieces first. Washer and dryer lint is okay too, as long as it comes only from clothing made from natural fibres.You can compost a much bigger variety of materials in Subpod than in other worm farm systems!
