As a newbie composer myself, I’ve been researching and thinking of my own set up for a while, by now I pretty much have a list of recommendations for a fun, useful gift for someone who loves composting!
Subpod- the all in one solution!
What I love about Subpod besides being beautiful, functional, and easy to use, is the huge support and learning system that the subpod community offers! With videos, a course, and a very active community forum, you can feel confident about the new wormy adventure ahead!
The subpod is not only a worm farm but a really unique one! The 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.

The Subpod® in-garden compost system that works with nature, using worms and microbes to compost organic waste without the odors, vermin, mess, and hard work of traditional composting.

Give them something to grow!
Composting is fun because you get to turn food scraps, that otherwise would be added to the trash, into beautiful, fertile soil! The best part is not only reducing waste but also being able to grow life, garden organically, and be more sustainable while you do it.

If you are buying a gift for a friend that just started composting, you know they would never refuse another plant baby! Here are a few suggestions that you can even order online!
