I started off putting my teabags in the compost- only to have to pick them
out again when it came to using it. I don't know whether it's all brands,
but PG Tips seem to be very resilient.

You should use proper teabags, like Taylor's Yorkshire tea.

PG Tips is for chimps!

You should use proper tea, not teabags! But teabags rot down easily
enough in a traditional heap.


Not all do nowadays. A has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, some
bags now utilise a polypropylene mesh which doesn't rot down.
