Subpod Mini Compost System. Outdoor Compost Bin & Worm Farm

Product Information

I can easily compost 10-15kg of foodwaste in a Subpod weekly. From my understanding, there isn’t another worm farm that can do that weekly capacity. Welcome to the Subpod family, where we're turning waste into wonder, one Subpod at a time. Happy composting! I completely agree, any composting system should not smell if it’s managed correctly. However, from my experience, above-ground systems are harder to manage. This makes them more likely to go anaerobic (smelly)

Chop your food scraps up to smaller pieces during food prep. This will ensure that they break down faster in the Subpod, making it easier to bury as you mix them in, and your worm population will grow faster. Composting is a very simple and natural process. In fact it’s hard to stop it from happening and I believe we often make it too complicated by interfering with the natural process. In nature any like of organic waste is going to decompose. There are various chemical and biological processes involved that result in the breakdown of complex biological units into simpler units. It involves bacteria and fungi in the initial phases and produces heat. As it cools other organisms get involved, including worms, insects etc.Promoting Soil Health: Compost enriches the soil, improving its structure, water retention, and nutrient content. Healthy soils can absorb and store carbon, helping to mitigate climate change. It’s great to hear you’re enthusiastic about getting people into gardening and composting, that makes two of us. Turn Regularly: Regular turning helps speed up the composting process and prevents any unpleasant smells. 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. Then there’s the term “neighbour approved”. I’m not convinced that they have asked the neighbours. Did they ask you to approve it for your neighbours? To me, this is just a shallow, meaningless and trite claim that can’t be validated. It’s poor marketing and devalues the whole system by telling me something I know not to be true. How can it be a “neighbour approved outdoor composting system” when my neighbours haven’t been consulted?

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.

Meet Subpod

There’s a lid that seals the top and the whole thing is buried, or partially buried, in the soil or into a raised bed. The video you posted above about simplicity. Sorry, I’m not sure, how you got to the “overloading the system and making it anaerobic” the idea is to stop feeding one side and load it up with carbon while continuing to feed the other side so they migrate across. Maybe it was my explanation, if so, sorry about that.
