Part Two - Subpod - Feeding the Compost Bin

I've Got Worms!

My composting worms have been delivered and now I am going to walk you through the process of Feeding the Compost Bin.

#Subpod

There are three main steps of "Feeding the Compost Bin".

Step 1. Dry Carbon: Create bedding for the worms using dry cardboard. The boxes that the Subpod Composting Bin was shipped and delivered in can be used. You can also use scraps of newspapers, etc.

The whole family is getting in the act of Composting! We have all helped set up the Subpod Composting Bin and have all enjoyed learning more about composting and getting to participate.

Step 2. Wet the Carbon and Worm Blankets: Use a bucket of water to wet the scraps of paper (carbon) and also wet the worm blankets included in the #Subpod Composting Bin Kit. 

Step 3. Add Worms: Add your composting worms! Subpod recommends about 2,000 worms to start with. See previous post (Part One) of this series for help in ordering compost worms.

Happy Worms!

Tucking the worms in for the night with the wet worm blanket that we soaked before. This goes on top and helps keep in moisture and allows the worms to get settled in.

**Adding Food Waste to the Compost Bin

*Subpod recommends waiting about a week before adding food scraps, waste to the bin to allow the worms to get established.
