How many Subpods do I need?

We have designed the Subpods to be used for a family of up to 4 people.  The capacity of the Subpods once they are up and running will be 30 liters/15 kilograms of organic waste per week.


At the start when you are getting your Subpod up and running, you will not be able to put that much waste in your Subpod.  

You will need to let your new worms settle into their new home and build up their numbers before they will be able to eat 15 kilograms of fruit and veggies a week.  


Worms are also adaptable, so if you organic waste is reduced for whatever reasons they will adapt to their environment. They will also not be confined to the Subpod, but will be free to move throughout the garden bed and come back to the Subpod for their dinner :)  


If you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and have more organic waste than 30 liters/15 kilograms per week, then you can purchase 2 or more Subpods.  The Subpods can fit together due to their modular system and be used as a bench seat in the garden, or then can be installed into separate garden beds.
