6Harvest time
Worms move nutrients in and out of your Subpod and your surrounding garden for you. Especially the 'worm wee' – a liquid fertiliser like a multi vitamin probiotic rocket fuel for your plants!
As your worm colony grows the amount of nutrients it shares grows too! Your Subpod also slowly fills up with vermi-compost which you can then harvest for other parts of you garden.
Tips
- Vermi-compost should be used soon after harvest, before it is leached by rain or dries out, killing many of its benificial microbes.
- You can use it like regular compost, spread or sprinkled onto existing soil, mixed with poor soil to make a potting mix, or mixed with water and poured throughout your garden.
Did you know?
- Vermi-compost and worm wee provide soil nutrients and are packed with beneficial microorganisms. This makes them the perfect zero emissions natural, organic fertiliser for your garden; creating healthy, fertile soil.
- Extremely sandy soils don't have enough structure or biology to retain the goodness added by a small amount of vermi-compost or worm wee.
- To add structure to sandy soil, first use a large amount of compost, 'Sheet Mulch' or 'Green Manure'. Then keep topped up with worm wee, vermi-composts, compost, lighter mulch or by adding a subpod to the bed!. By doing this you'll quickly start to build up rich, dark soil, and keep it for years to come.

Harvest Time (castings): You can also harvest castings and provide them to residents in gift boxes to sprinkle on their indoor plants. Or simply sprinkle small amounts of castings on plants (or mix into the soil) in the common areas and watch as they blossom.
