ISTR it being said here a few years ago that some tea bags were
reinforced with synthetic (?nylon) fibres, and didn't compost well.

Thanks everyone for the info. Sounds like the consensus is no harm,
limited or no benefit.

I'm sure the tea bag thing must depend on brand, the Typhoo round bags
are OK in the compost.

How so mess? I've never seen bags in the compost, so I assume they
compost well.

I have put tea-bags in my wormery and they have been the last thing left - with
tomato skins - when everything else has composted/been eaten.

Yes, but wormeries can handle only a few of the things that can be
chucked on a traditional heap, or even a modern bin.
