The fact is that such bags may well act as organic fertilizer and become an integral part of the compost.

Substances contained in tea leaves help accelerate the decomposition of organic matter.

Important nuance

Many gardeners will have questions: “Is it possible to send the bag itself to the compost? Or do you only need brewed tea leaves?”

Experienced gardeners assure that both loose tea and used tea bags can be added to the compost heap.

It is also worth checking that there are no other unnecessary components on the bag. For example, a metal bracket.
