The double chamber sub pod is a real step up from my indoor tote vermicompost colony set-up.Pros:- Everything comes on one package to get started- The materials are weather hardy.- There is a considerable amount of depth in each chamber so no need to move out worms to new locations.- The worms can migrate in and out of the outside of the box under the earth to accommodate their needs.- My worms are breaking down food and making babies faster than when in my indoor tote.Considerations1. Place the sub pod in an area where it will have shade at the hottest time of the day because the plastic will heat up and possibly **** the worms.2. Though the sub pod is mostly underground, one must not cover up the airflow holes which means that if the temps are too cold ...

When the night temps in my area got to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, I placed a styrofoam insulated box on top of the sub pod with a 5-inch clearance on all sides and an 8 inches clearance on top. I covered the box with a clear plastic painter tarp large enough to cover the insulated box generously. This kept them warm until the temps dropped below 30 degrees Fahrenheit at night.4. To keep the worms safe and active when the temps dropped below 30 degrees Fahrenheit at night, I placed 2 seedling warming pads side by side on the outside area on top of the sub-pod lid and on top of that, a cheap plastic table cover assuring there was a 3-inch gap between the table cover and seedling mat. I then put the insulated box with the see-through plastic paint tarp back in the top as the last insulator. The seedling pads are on 24/7 and have kept the worms thriving even when temperatures drop to even to -15 degrees during the day and at night.

I am old and have some health issues so I sent it to my son. A) he has some horticultural knowledge. B) he has more space. C) I hope begin to commence a home renovation, so I thought that a building site it would be a hassle.The wait was OK for me.The information sent regularly I found a bit frustrating. It was hype around the recycling of material and being green. Good but not what I wanted.I am still unsure how the system will work, & operate, I will eventually find out, but as he live 3 hours away he only has weekends it a slow process.Being old I tend to avoid social media as an information source.I would rather read material and look at diagrams and things to measure, and records to keep..

It's been a few weeks since installing my subpods, and I am very happy with them! Makes composting food scraps so easy, and they look great in my garden. Perfect as a seat or seed starting spot. The raised beds they're in get the benefit of the nutrients and worms straight away. I planted into these beds just yesterday, and so many worms!Only annoying note to make is that just after I ordered my subpods, they went on sale at 40% off, which is very annoying.

We live in Florida. It was easy to set up (my hubby dug the hole). It's been in place for a few months now and we feed it once or twice a week. Getting the worms was easy and they seem pretty happy. Once, I found it too wet and had a lot of black soldier fly larva, and couldn't see worms, so I just adjusted the brown material and the worms came back and took over. We use mostly cardboard and paper as brown material. We don't get much yard waste that could be used. The worms are great at their jobs and the food waste gets eaten quickly. It's also going to take longer to fill up than I expected (a good thing). We are still feeding both sides each time and we are only at the first line. None of my fears about smell or critters have come to pass. It is working out great ... MoreWe live in Florida. It was easy to set up (my hubby dug the hole).

I'm sad that I waited so long to push the "buy" button.
I do think it’s such a cool creation especially since we did it for homeschooling lessons. The fact that it comes with it’s own booklet is great. The kids put it together almost completely alone. We followed directions completely to make sure our worms would be happy. After 3 months of having it we are disappointed. The compost bin has shifted and since only made of plastic was not strong enough to hold up against dirt??? We only have green onions and garlic planted since not much space is given in the “garden bed” to grow anything without it obstructing the compost bin from opening and closing. The most annoying part is since the compost box has shifted, the lid doesn’t line up anymore to close now, defeating the purpose of it. We might as well throw our compost ...

The most annoying part is since the compost box has shifted, the lid doesn’t line up anymore to close now, defeating the purpose of it. We might as well throw our compost out in open……. We have a raised garden bed that is 8 x 12 and have more luck digging a hole in the soil and tossing compost in the hole and covering up… I really wish it was more functional because it’s a cute concept.
The kit was east to put together and get started but now that it’s been a year since we have been composting I thought I’d give some overall thoughts. After about 3 mo the door started to not want to close properly. We have to be super careful with the hinge and make sure it is laying properly to close it. At 6 months, the insulation pieces on the underside of the door began to fall off and the little lock pegs will not stay anymore. So they just it on top of the compost now. We have to move them to add more to the box. And now after a year, the worm blankets are disintegrating. I have seen more black fly larvae lately and haven’t seen any worms in months.
Simply LOVE my Subpod. Gives me such a good feeling knowing that I’m helping the planet just a little bit. I only received it a couple weeks ago so I’ve only been able to feed my worms once. The hardest part is waiting that first week to acclimate the worms. I made the mistake of not keeping the worm mat moist enough and found a few dried up worms the 2nd day so I check the mats every 1-2 days & wet them when needed. It’s been almost another week and my wiggly friends are still working on their 1st meal. I took care to keep out citrus & onion peels as advised. I’m trying not to overwhelm them but hope they can accept their 2nd meal soon & we can pick up the pace. As for set up. It goes much quicker w/ 2 people.

It’s been almost another week and my wiggly friends are still working on their 1st meal. I took care to keep out citrus & onion peels as advised. I’m trying not to overwhelm them but hope they can accept their 2nd meal soon & we can pick up the pace. As for set up. It goes much quicker w/ 2 people. We used pliers to tighten the nuts & bolts of the galvanized frame. The Subpod was easy to assemble but you do need to put a little pressure on the plastic joints to snap them in. We placed it in a sunny spot that gets about 6hrs of sun thinking ahead to Winter (we’re in zone 7) & keeping our wigglers happy. Placed it on concrete pavers and lined the bottom w/ weedblock. Then placed the Subpod on another stack of pavers to raise it up a bit (as instructed) almost in the middle. Should’ve placed the front end closer to the edge so it would be even easier to reach but it’s not a big deal. It is too far in to use as a bench though. I made sure to fill up to the air holes only but definitely cover the larger holes so other small critters don’t get in. Definitely advise watching the YouTube videos by Subpod. Very helpful. We under estimated the dirt needed to fill the Grow Garden Bed and had to get several bags more. At $21/bag X 7 for rich organic black gold soil it got pretty expensive but that was my choice. I’ll be using the composted dirt i harvest for my vegetable garden and just want the best. It wasn’t clear from the instructions that we should only feed the worms on one side until you reach a level and the worms have done their job consuming the veggie scraps & carbon. I only learned that from reading the Q & A from other customers. This way when it’s time to harvest a little dirt you can put the worm food in the other side of the Subpod and they’ll switch sides through the holes and you can keep your worms in their home. I planted basil, cilantro, nasturtium, and mums around the outside of the Subpod and they’re so very happy. Now I just need to show more patience as we wait for the worms to get up to speed.
Bought one bundle to try for myself. Installed the Subpod at the end of the bed, rather than the center, leaving plenty of room for planting a crop of onions & garlic for my small family.Then bought another as a gift for my sister as the height of the bed is tall enough to resist the insidious Bermuda grass, but still short enough for my 3yo nephew to help in. He'll find the worms fascinating and the compost cycle a wonderful educational opportunity - all without requiring a ton of time or extra effort from my overworked sister & her husband.My only complaint is that I didn't check the alignment of the hinges before snapping the sides of the pod in place, and unsnapping them to fix a misaligned hinge was...difficult. But if you check the hinges to make sure ... MoreBought one bundle to try for myself.

But if you check the hinges to make sure they're properly aligned before linking the sides, there shouldn't be any issues. There's plenty of composting space for the amount a small family produces - but the worms do most of the work to make it, so it's low effort.
I was really excited initially about the product. It came highly recommended via FlowHive (a company and product that I admire). The packaging and product was clean and arrived quickly. I popped it together quite easily and readied to install in my flower bed. Here is where things went sideways. The soil I have in that bed by the house is a heavy clay. I thought that the clay would be nicely revitalized by the SubPod. I dug the hole to fit the SubPod and installed it, worms, and a nice mix of garden soil to get things moving. After a week or so the lid no longer opened or closed properly. What happened? Well, as near as I can tell the SubPod can't hold up to the weight of dirt around it. The pressure was pushing the walls in even though all the snaps were assembled ... MoreI was really excited initially about the product.

The pressure was pushing the walls in even though all the snaps were assembled before installation. Well, I dug the SubPod up, emptied the bins of a month worth of compost, washed it out and reassembled the walls. I dug the hole out to allow4-6" of free space around the Pod and reinstalled it. The free space I backfilled with peat moss to reduce the pressure on the Pod. Then I put the months worth of compost back into the Pod. Less than a week later the compost had pushed the walls out from interior pressure. My impression is that the only way to get this product to work is to fill the interior and exterior at the exact same time and with the same weight of product and that seems to defeat the whole idea.
I’d say the Subpod is subpar. Fairly expensive for what you get. I’ve had it for 2 weeks, my three year old has already broken one of the two mechanisms that lock the lid in the open position. The plastic pieces that secure the insulation with the directions to the lid like to pop off every time I open the lid. Those are the bad. Now to the good. Very easy to assemble. Directions are on the underside of the lid. Comes with weekly emails, directions, a podcast. You feel like you’re apart of something important. That’s why I gave it three stars. The good outweighs the bad. So a C+ should be looked at as a positive.
