This explains why I sometimes find thinned down bags in the worm bin
output. Well, now I know to stop throwing them back in the top, which
is what I normally do with anything that isn't "fully digested" yet.

I don't see any reason to start removing staples, though --- I think
they rust away in the worm bin.

I don't have a worm bin but I do put my teabags on my compost heap where
they rot away very well. Might be due to the chicken poo that acts as an
accelerator?

But what brand do you drink, Tina?

Typhoo usually, does this make a difference? Of course not and I appreciate
your humour.


Glengettie bags don't compost well either. Being Welsh, I don't
subscribe to the foreign tradition of tea drinking.... warm the pot,
is it milk or tea must go in the cup first? I don't even own a tea pot
but keep some tea bags handy in case of need. I buy Glengettie because
they at least have bilingual boxes :-)). Tea bag in cup or mug. Add
hot water. Squash about a bit for a few seconds until the water turns
brown. Extract bag and put into food recycling container. Add milk.
Stir. Add sugar if needed. If the brew doesn't look brown enough, add
a drop of gravy browning. Sorted.

Most of my visitors get converted to coffee pretty quickly!
