I used to put tea bags in my Vermicompost containers, but the bags always end up not completely composted & blowing around the yard. I think it is because the actual bags have plastic.

Recent my mom is taking a master class in gardening & some of the people are telling they do compost tea bags.

Do the you put tea bags in you Vermicomposting containers? Does the tea bags completely compost?

A lot of brands do use bags containing plastic - which probably isn't great in terms of you actually ingesting microplastic as you drink, let alone composting - but some do not. The trick is to find the brands that don't and use them. They fully compost.
