I drink a lot of tea and was wondering what they were when picking worms out of the bottom tray. I use paper coffee filters and they rarely burst and are totally biodegradable. I agree with the idea of a teabagger protest its dovetails neatly into the current lobbying over plastic mini balls.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161119503275991812.post-55119833069137003492011-05-19T10:25:16.981+01:002011-05-19T10:25:16.981+01:00Thanks for sharing, I am an avid composted and hav...Thanks for sharing, I am an avid composted and have had two wormeries for 3 years now.

Their "pyramid" style tea bags are PLA (corn plastic), allegedly biodegradeable, but not home-compostable. There's something inherently yucky about steeping plastic in my hot cup of tea. Let's all call our favorite tea companies and stage a "teabagger protest"...Joe Nolan, owner, <a href="http://www.homegreenhome.com" rel="nofollow">Home Green Home</a>JoeGreenHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215659820416236432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161119503275991812.post-48452185378249555722009-11-13T18:09:26.062+00:002009-11-13T18:09:26.062+00:00I have noticed said teabag "ghosts" in m...I have noticed said teabag "ghosts" in my heap but never in the wormery. There is also an increasing number of manufacturers who want to change to nylon teabags but I'm rather hoping that the obvious anger this has caused makes them change their minds!Simon Sherlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849669982521032764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161119503275991812.post-31306208225159454342009-09-28T22:22:29.328+01:002009-09-28T22:22:29.328+01:00Thanks for the information!
