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. -- He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.
