| nah, Just makes your compost smell oniony for a while. Wouldn't make your veggies taste like onions, no more than manure would make them manurey... Tea bags? put em in. |

| There are some tea bags made out of a plastic material and won't compost. A person can rip/cut them open to compost the contents though. Lloyd |

| I didn't know that Lloyd. I'm more of a coffee guy anyway. So- what Lloyd said. |

| What they said. Also, some tea bags have little metal staples in them. I try to rip the staples out before I compost. Which might be unnecessary, I don't know, but anyway . . . |

| The staples are not worth removing, dawncols. They disappear in the compost. Can you get teabags with no tag and therefore no staple? |

| There are some teabags with no string, tag or staple. I put all that in - the string is cotton, the tag is paper, and that little staple will be rusted to nothingness rapidly in the highly corrosive environment of the compost pile. :-D The plastic teabags are easy to spot. There is one brand that I know of, not sure which, but they are funny triangular bags made of a sort of mesh. They don't look or feel like paper at all. |
