Is Subpod suitable for a single person household? I am just 1 person, will Subpod work for me? I live alone, can I use Subpod?
Subpod is fine to use for 1 person and for composting under 15 kilograms per week. You will start with about 2,000 worms and they will gradually build in numbers based on their environment.
So, if you don't feed them much, they will eat what they have, and not make more babies :)
Another option is scrap sharing. You can get your neighbours, friends or families to donate their food scraps to your Subpod. This stops waste going to landfill (creating methane gas/global warming), and creates more compost for you and your garden, win win!
