The porous material our Grow Bags are made from helps your plants grow bigger and healthier!
In plastic planters, plant roots spiral endlessly which drains energy from the plants, reducing their growth. In Subpod Grow Bags, roots sense the light and air through the material and limit their growth, also known as 'air pruning'. Read more in the FAQ's.
Create a new garden bed in seconds! Grow Bags come flat packed for easy storage, and unfold instantly. No cutting wood or screwing stuff together required. Just unpack, unfold, and you're ready to add soil and get planting.

4. The final product
Yep! Grow Bags can be set up on any surface (concrete, grass, gravel, woodchip) as long as it's flat. Water does drain from the base of the Grow Bag, so make sure to place it somewhere that won't be an issue.
Absolutely. The fabric our Grow Bags are made from is a polyester fiber derived from PET pellets (made from recycled PETE water bottles).
It's BPA free, non-toxic and heat-stable, so you don't have to worry about any nasties. It also means you can recycle your Grow Bag at the end of its' life!
We've tested our Grow Bags under different conditions, and can happily say they have an average outdoor lifespan of 5 years!
That said, if you treat yours well they can last even longer. Don't go accidentally slicing them while you mow the lawn!
Not at all. They're made from porous material that drains water automatically!
If you're not planting a Mini in your Grow bag, you'll need 8 x 30L bag's worth of soil.
If you are planting a Subpod Mini in your Grow Bag, you only need the equivelant of 5 x 30L bags of soil.
In nature, if roots come into contact with air, they stop growing. The root tips are "burned" off by the air, which causes the plant to produce new and healthy branching roots in non-airy directions. This is a healthy process, and is known as 'air pruning'.
When plants grow in plastic pots and planters, the only place roots are exposed to air is often at the base. The rest of the plastic blocks airflow to the roots, so they never receive a signal to stop growing. Instead, the roots grow 'round and 'round in the planter until the plant becomes 'root bound'.
If you've ever repotted a houseplant, the picture above probably looks familiar!
Because our Grow Bags are made of a porous fabric, any time a root gets near the edge, they'll recieve enough airflow to signal the air pruning process.
This means your plants end up with more diverse, branching root balls – and don't waste precious growing energy on becoming root bound!
The 'fluffier' and more intricate a plant's root ball is, they healthier they'll generally be. And for vegetables, you'll get much better yields from a plant grown in soil that's well aerated.
Long story short? More airflow to plant roots = healthier plants and bigger harvests!
How Subpod Works
Subpod is an in-ground compost system and worm farm.
Compost worms and microbes live inside Subpod and turn all the materials you feed them into rich compost.
Over time, nutrients from the compost will feed your garden soil and help your plants thrive.
Beginner Friendly
Easy to follow instructions on how to feed and care for your worms right on the lid.
Low maintenance
Your worm farm only needs 5 mins of maintenance per week
Self Fertilising
Subpod fertilises the soil around it and creates organic fertiliser (compost) from your food waste, all year round
Durable Materials
Made from a polyester fiber derived from recycled PETE water bottles).
The Grow Bag is heat-stable and will last 5+ years in various outdoor conditions.
Odour Free
No smelly compost around here! The key to healthy compost is air, and with a unique 360-degree ventilation system, your compost will get plenty of that!
Subpod in Action
Subpod is a vermicomposting system
Uses worms to break down food waste much faster than traditional methods, generally in 2 - 3 months. Vermicompost (worm castings or worm manure) is nitrogen rich compost that’s as good for the garden as the traditional stuff. Subpod can compost smaller amounts of waste non-stop, which is a big advantage over traditional systems.
What's the difference?
A complex biological process that uses a microbes, a specific ratio of carbon to nitrogen and high temperatures. It requires a large pile of organic matter to generate the high temperatures needed to compost the food waste. This can take a lot longer, up to 6 - 9 months, and systems are often exposed, attracting pests and emitting foul smells.
"As the global food waste crisis hits people’s radars, innovators are coming up with all kinds of creative solutions. Joining the movement, a team of people in Australia, has dreamed up a novel solution that makes composting food waste easier, quicker and more appealing – and it’s now been launched globally."
"With about 60,000 customers across 26 countries, environmentally friendly products like Subpod that encourage re-using, recycling or reducing are having their moment in the spotlight, especially as people search for products that are easy to use and build."
"...The Compost Central team has perfected after eight years of development and field testing, The Subpod; a modular composting system for the garden that is simple to assemble and use. In addition to being easy to follow, the project allows you to almost eliminate the manual work required using traditional systems..."
Subpod is like no other...
Air Flow
Smelly compost? It’s not something you need to worry about with Subpod. The key to healthy compost is air, and with a unique 360-degree ventilation system, your compost will get plenty of that! Fresh air flows in, and stale air can flow out before it ever turns sour. We designed the size of the Air Flow holes so they could keep out any common pest. Keep your compost smell-free and healthy, with Subpod.
Worm Flow
We believe in living in harmony with nature. Subpod’s unique design lets your worms live in the soil, the way they’re meant to. Underground, your compost worms are safe from the sun and can choose to travel from the life-hub of the Subpod, out into your garden. Just like a forest floor, they will nurture and aerate your garden’s soil, before heading home to eat. Improve your gardens’ health, and grow more veggies, with less work.
In-Ground System
It’s time to bring composting out into the light, and make it a feature of your garden! Say goodbye to those big black compost bins roasting in forgotten corners, Subpod’s in-ground design means it can seamlessly blend in with any environment. Whether it’s resting in your garden ready for harvest, nestled in as a cafe seat helping to clean plates, or subtly hidden under some beautiful ferns, you get to choose how Subpod suits you! No more overheated, ruined compost. Just the fresh stuff - safe in the ground, ready whenever you need it, right where you want it.
"Subpod is one of those wonderful solutions that if enough people implemented this change it would have an enormous impact on our planet"
"It's the easiest system you can imagine, even the kids know how to churn the worms"
"Composting just got a bit more efficient! I highly recommend this... I'm looking forward to some really good harvest"
