Worms at Work, Gardens in Bloom: Your May Composting Guide

Hello Subpod Community,

As the days grow longer and the soil warms up, compost systems across the U.S. are waking up. May is a turning point in the composting cycle. Warmer temperatures mean faster decomposition, more worm activity, and nutrient-rich compost that your garden will thrive on. If you’ve been able to feed your Subpod consistently, now’s the time to start harvesting that black gold!

Companion Planting & Garden Growth

Companion planting is the time-tested practice of pairing certain plants together to help each other grow. Companion planting offers a wide range of benefits for gardeners and growers, especially those aiming for a more sustainable, organic, & productive garden. Some of the most sought after benefits are as follows:

Natural Pest Control 🐜
Improved Growth & Flavor (Tomato & Basil BELONG together) 🍅
Maximized Space Efficiency 🌽
Pollinator Attraction 🐝
Soil Health & Nutrient Sharing 🥗
Weed Suppression 🌿
Biodiversity = Resilience 💪

In short, companion planting mimics how plants grow in nature: collaborative, layered, and interconnected. It helps you grow smarter, reduce inputs, and cultivate a thriving, balanced garden.

Big News: Subpod Has Planted Roots

In case you haven't heard, we’re proud to share that we’re making a major move to manufacturing Subpods right here in the USA. That’s right: we’re transitioning production from China to the States, and our first U.S.-made Subpods will be launching before fall!

This shift means that Subpod will now have faster shipping for our U.S. customers, a smaller carbon footprint, & will supply more local jobs & closer community partnerships while maintaining the same quality & durability you know and trust.

It's a huge step forward and we can't wait to get these next-gen Subpods into your gardens!

We can't wait to grow with you!

From better soil to stronger local supply chains, everything we do is rooted in regeneration. May is the PERFECT month to lean in. Keep planting, keep composting, and stay tuned....summer's just getting started, and so are we.

Thanks for being compost warriors,

The Subpod Team
