SMELL FREE, MESS FREE AND STRESS FREE
Unplug with natural apartment composting – no electricity needed. Modbed is powered by nature, creating a living ecosystem from your food waste. Keep your plants alive while helping the planet!
Subpod Mini is the heart of Modbed. It's the little sister to the Classic Subpod and is what makes it possible to divert the weekly food waste of up to 4 adults in Modbed!
Subpod Mini sits 90% buried in the soil of Modbed. Compost worms live inside and eat your food scraps rapidly, making no smells or mess in the process! Learn more in the video below.
If Modbed was a car, the compost worms and microbes that live inside Mini would be the compost engine. Worms feed on your scraps while odourless microbes help speed up the process. Together, they can handle the weekly waste from a household of 4 with ease!
Worms love to explore every inch of your garden, stirring up the soil and “depositing” little chunks of compost as they go. This supercharges your soil and makes growing with Modbed easier than any other garden.
There’s no secrets with Modbed. It makes odourless, natural compost – no electricity or boosters needed. It’s all thanks to the patent-pending design of Subpod Mini.
Airflow
Pest-resistant ventilation panels keep fresh air blowing in and encourages odourless microbes to speed up the composting process.
Wormflow
Compost worms naturally aerate your system, helping odourless aerobic microbes thrive instead of smelly anaerobic ones.
Non-stop composting
Unlike traditional systems, where compost needs to sit for 3 months at a time, Subpod Mini composts all year round and you can harvest any time!
Modbed is compact but it packs a big punch! Our Subpod Mini compost system is rated to compost up to 22lbs of food waste per week.
Our compost systems are one of the easiest, hands-off systems available that can keep up with the food waste from modern homes. Only 5 minutes of maintenance needed a week!
WE GO THE EXTRA MILE
Subpod products are made with care for the planet. Modbed is made from carbonised FSC Certified timber and protected by
a recycled plastic bottle liner.
Our wood is FSC certified, which meets the highest environmental standards. Instead of nasty chemical treatments, our wood has been carbonised – a form of heat-treatment used in Japan for over 300 years. Carbonising provides natural rot and salt-resistance to wood and even helps deter pests like termites.
The liner that sits inside Modbed is a woven material made from recycled PET water bottles. Which is great news for the planet, since recycling water bottles uses far fewer resources than creating virgin plastic! Our food-safe liner prevents the soil inside Modbed from rotting the wood or falling out, while filtering any run-off.
FUTURE ACCESSORIES
Modbed is a true modular product. Its unique channel system
allows accessories to be simply added on for the ultimate small space growing experience, year round.
We know Modbed is a compact garden, and we're already working on solutions to maximise your growing space. Our trellis attachment will double the growing room by
taking your garden vertical.
Whether you want to grow food in snowy seasons or need to keep insects off your plants, our pest-proof insect net and greenhouse attachments will have you covered. No pun intended.
Not everyone is blessed with sunlight in their small garden, but that won't matter with our LED Grow Lights. Grow food in the middle of winter or on the darkest
balcony on the block!
Do something great for you and the planet 🌎 compost and grow your own!

The Modbed+ is expected to ship in June 2022.
We offer a 3 year structural warranty on the Modbed Garden Bed and 2 year warranty on Subpod Mini and the Subpod Compost Aerator. Our warranties cover defects and faults but not physical blemishes and normal wear and tear. We also stock a range of parts for our prodcuts and encourage repair and reuse where possible.
The Modbed+ is made from rot-resistant carbonised FSC certified cedar, and a corrosion-proof alloy frame.
Because we suggest emptying our Caddy every 2-3 days, your scraps don’t need to be left to stand for any time, so our Caddy is the right fit for most.
As is true with all of our products, the Modbed+ is built to stand the test of time and has a 100% repairable design.
Imperial: 35.4" W x 31.4" H x 23.6" D
Metric: 900 mm W x 800 mm H x 600 mm D
The Modbed+ has a replaceable liner designed to allow for drainage without allowing soil to escape. Water from runoff will be minimal - like a light sun shower! Because all the materials are rust and rot proof there is nothing in the Modbed that will cause staining associated with most planters and balcony gardens.
The Modbed+ weighs around 20 kg/ 44 lbs without soil.
When filled with soil, the Modbed+ weighs around 100 kg/ 220 lbs
The liner is made from recycled PET water bottles.
Yes! It is ROHS compliant.
Yes! Subpod Mini is a vermi-composting system, which means it relies on compost worms to break down your food waste. Without compost worms Subpod Mini can’t do its job. Worms are not included - composting worms are available worldwide, best bought locally or online.
If you already own a Subpod Mini, we suggest you purchase the Modbed Planter on it's own and plant your Subpod Mini into your new Modbed.
Are you ready to retire your old school compost system, or create a world without waste? Join the community and discover just how easy and rewarding composting can really be.
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 (food scraps, paper, coconut peat) into rich compost. Over time, nutrients from the compost will feed your garden soil and help your plants thrive.
Subpod began with a simple idea: make composting a part of everyday life. We believe that if we can do that, we can teach people to love the soil their food comes from, and make the world a little bit better together.
