How many worms does 1 Subpod make?
With regular feeding over time, the Subpod can support 30,000 worms or more. At the start, you will have 1000 worms (or more, depending on how many you order). In time, your worm family will grow and you will have an abundant supply of worms. You may even decide to give some worms to your friends or family to help them start a Subpod :)
Worms will adapt to their environment. So, if there is an abundant supply of food for them they will reproduce and expand out through your garden bed. If there is a lack of food, the worms will reproduce at a lower rate.
