Subpod
The in-ground compost system and growth hub for your garden that turns food waste into living soil with no smells or mess, all within your own space.
Inventor | Founder | Director
Composting your food waste has never been this simple. Designed and invented by Andrew Hayim De Vries, the Subpod® in-garden compost system works with nature, using worms and microbes to compost organic waste without the odours, vermin, mess and hard work of traditional composting.
Subpod® not only disposes of your organic waste, but is also the ‘growth hub’ for your garden. The movement of worms and microbes between your Subpod® and garden bed builds soil fertility and plant health, allowing you to grow nutrient-dense food at home with ease.
