Aging materials can definitely make them more worm-friendly (although I don’t recommend letting food wastes sit remotely as long as I left these tea bags, unless you have the perfect balance of bedding and air flow as well)

CALEB – Great! And yeah I agree this should be considered on a case by case basis. Definitely some packets I won’t use – and if I come across any bags that have synthetic components those wont go in either.

I’m going to start doing that for sure with my teabags, I usually generate 2 teabags a day,so I’m definitely saving the paper now!

I guess I’d just again caution people that some individual tea bag packets have plastic or nylon or waxed ink in them, which may not compost too well.

Bentley, you have the Midas touch.

Interesting idea. I would be concerned about proper ventilation in a bin like that, but it does look like there is at least one bottom air vent, and I like how they recommend mixing the “bedding” types of materials with “food” materials (that should help with air flow as well).

Would be interesting to see how vermicomposting compares in a head to head challenge!
🙂

“Hot” composting, in an insulated bin?

Instructive?
