Default Tea bags that rot down in compost

Well, mine don't. I spread the contents of my compost bin on my
allotment on Thursday, and was dismayed to find that there were
thousands of Typhoo tea bags on the surface, the contents rotted down,
the outer bags present.
They had been in the compost for up to 1 year.
So the seach for a tea bag that provides a good cup of tea, and rots
down continues.


Ah, but no chicken poo in the compost?
No wonder it doesn't rot g
No teabags refuse to rot in my compost heap.

OK, then I'l try chicken poo. It sells for £3.50 a bag here in
Cornwall. It's that or change the tea bags, and I do enjoy Typhoo.
