Feeding time
Feeding your Subpod is easy, there's even a handy feeding guide on the lid explaining what and how much to feed your worms!
- Peel back the worm blanket or cover you have created.
- Sprinkle your food scraps over the top to a maximm thickness of 5 cm,
- Mix the food scraps and air into the top 1-6 inches with 3 gentle stirs.
- Sprinkle an equal portion of dried garden scraps on top.
- Replace the worm blanket / cover and close the lid.
The right amount
If you feed your Subpod more than your worms can manage, the food will rot and your worms will wriggle away. Start with just a couple of handfuls each week while your worms settle in and breed up,
Increase gradually, as per the feeding guide in your subpod’s lid. After 6 months or so, a Subpod Classic should be able to process 10-30L of food and garden scraps a week (5-15 for the Subpod Mini).
You don't need to wait until the worms eat everything before you add more, but don't add much unless the food looks like it's being eaten – it will appear darker and will have reduced in volume.
Worms are little, so it stands to reason they will get through food faster if it's cut into small pieces!
