Subpod has a simple mission: Feed the soil. Feed the world.
Subpod is an in-ground compost system and worm farm. Compost worms and microbes live inside Subpod and turn all the materials fed to them (food scraps, paper, coconut peat) into rich compost. Over time, nutrients from the compost will feed garden soil and help plants thrive.
Subpod is an aerobic system, which means odourless microbes boost the composting process, not smelly anaerobic ones. The unique 360 ventilation below Subpods’ lid keeps fresh air cycling through the system. With weekly aeration, the compost should only ever smell like a forest floor.
How it works underground
Compost worms live in Subpod like they would in nature. Underground, they compost in the dark, protected from harsh weather conditions and direct sunlight. Fresh air circulates through Subpod via the ventilation panels, which helps aerobic (odourless) microbes speed up the composting process. As the worms and microbes breed, they explore the soil, taking particles of compost with them and boosting fertility through the garden bed.
Soil is an insulator; it protects the worms in hot weather and gives them a cool place to escape. When it’s cold, the soil traps heat in Subpod and keeps the worms active during winter – so you can compost all year round.
