Vermicomposting Commercial Used Tea Bags (piefed.social)

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?

The microplastics points by both GreyShuck & you are great, I was not even thinking about microplastics & my (& female roommate’s) health, just the issue of not being able to find a way to compost them because plastic in general.

Also awesomely help point about cutting off the tops & dumping the tea into stainless steel tea steeping container, because yes, we do have one.
