Thanks to Modbed, your small outdoor area (here’s looking at you, apartment balcony!) can be turned into a lush and thriving green space. Modbed has allowed urban dwellers in high rise apartments or small townhomes to join the fight against food waste and pursue gardening in the comfort of their own property.

It’s opened up the world of home composting to urban dwellers that would never have had the space to do it. Now, with our new (and growing!) range of accessories for Modbed, your small space gardening is about to go up a notch!

The Subpod think tank of gardening experts has designed ways to maximise the use of your green space with clever accessories for your Modbed. We’re talking happier plants and worms, more produce and improved composting capabilities throughout the year!

Modbed users, or anyone with a love for small space gardening, are going to be blown away by these insightful tools! Check them out below!

Look left and right before crossing the road seems simple enough, right? Well, unless you’re a moose or any other animal trying to get from A to B. They’re just not as up to speed with road safety rules as humans are, and unfortunately in the US over 350-million vertebrate animals are killed by traffic every year. Also, on average 200 people are killed in collisions with wildlife in the US annually.

These are pretty tragic stats! The good news is though, the federal government has allocated a significant chunk of funding to address vehicle-wildlife collisions. Indigenous groups as well as state and local governments will have access to $350-million to help combat the problem! That’s a big amount, for a big problem.

There are three main functions this funding will perform: improving wildlife tracking programs, building wildlife corridors and adding warning signs for drivers. The funding will be rolled out over five years, with the first grants issued during the next few months.

Here's hoping this has a huge effect on reducing the number of animals and people killed on the roads! Read more about this story below.
