About this deal

The Subpod® in-garden compost system works with nature, using worms and microbes to compost organic waste without the odours, vermin and hard work of traditional composting. Some people also say the acidic environment that citrus can create in a compost pile kills off worms and microorganisms, and should thus be avoided entirely.

The slimline, resealable pouch is designed to stand upright so it is easy to find on shelves or any cupboard or where space is tight. This specially blended mix offers free drainage with the perfect balance of nutrients for strong citrus plants.

The heating will probably be off now, so the good days are here for house plants, but you could start misting and place a tray of water and pebbles nearby. These are valid concerns to have, so it is understandable that people would opt not to use citrus in their garden’s compost.

Seed or potting composts are used for growing seedlings or plants in containers - a wide range of commercially produced peat-free composts are available, made from a mix of various ingredients, such as loam, composted bark, coir and sand, although you can mix your own. Fill in around the edges with more Citrus Potting Mix ensuring the top feeder roots are covered with 2cm of fresh potting mix. Just remember that it’s best to cut up your citrus peels first before you use them, and you should be good to go! You aren’t going to feed the same compost ingredients to a sugarcane patch as you would to edible shrubs or groundcover.

It is always a good idea to understand how best to use specific scraps before you include them in your compost pile. Temperature: During winter keep the plants in a cool, but frost-free place such as a cool conservatory; greenhouse or unheated room. It also has a strong scent that pests and scavengers don’t like, so it acts as a natural deterrent to them. As long as your citrus is in the middle of the pile, it should be decomposing rather efficiently for a cold compost pile.

While this isn’t a problem for people who eat the fruit, it’s certainly strong enough to kill off any unwanted bacteria in your compost pile, so you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.Plants can be placed outdoors in summer, from mid-June to late September, if sheltered from cold winds.

Our worm farms, with their range of accessories, can be used in any size of space, from balconies to small courtyards. You can compost the entire fruit, including the peels, which will introduce good amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium into your compost. Our citrus compost naturally helps water regulation with the texture of the mix designed to replicate that of Mediterranean soils. Opinion on this is divided because citrus isn’t the most straightforward of fruits to compost, but the right answer is that yes, you can definitely compost citrus.

Earthworms are said not to like citrus … but they usually don’t enter the decomposition process until fairly late and by then the citrus part will have been decomposed enough by bacteria, fungi and other compost denizens that worms will have no problem with them. Your refund will be processed within 14 days of reaching our warehouse using the same method that you paid with. In the colder months, it may be a good idea to dry out your citrus peels first to speed up the decomposition process, which makes it easier to compost. If you do not plan to turn your compost regularly, and instead opt for a cold compost procedure, it’s best to leave the seeds out of the picture, as you do not want any plants suddenly growing in your compost. Can refer to either home-made garden compost or seed/potting compost: • Garden compost is a soil improver made from decomposed plant waste, usually in a compost bin or heap.
