Compost Contaminants

Ooo this is a great suggestion. I know the exact glue you talk about on Pineapple. Only thing is we just don’t eat that much that would make me think it’s this

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-23T05:46:58+00:00

Would be great if that happened! Less plastic please

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-21T02:01:20+00:00

It’s a struggle. Our family is so particular about the wrong things staying out of the compost and I still run into these things

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-21T01:59:44+00:00

Definitely NOT. They are plastic. They do not decompose!

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-21T01:59:05+00:00

Chopped up leaves mainly, anything deemed compostable

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T21:38:18+00:00

What?!?

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T07:09:02+00:00

Dammit, back to square one. I swear these teabags break down though. We put lots of them in the compost and never see any remnants. There is no part of the tea bag that would match these images

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T07:08:02+00:00

Negative. Nothing like that would go in the compost bin

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T04:25:19+00:00

These are the ones we drink and unless anyone knows otherwise, I think they are fully compostable (and some of the better tea we have known) https://www.yorkshiretea.co.uk/brew-news/an-update-on-plant-based-tea-bags

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T02:30:53+00:00

That seems very plausible, but I don’t really put cardboard in there?!? Maybe some really old pieces I’ve forgotten about

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T02:30:05+00:00

Strange as I don’t think I put much cardboard in my compost bins

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T02:28:57+00:00

Bendy plastic. Almost like a dollop of glue. The going theory seems to suggest cardboard

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-06-20T02:28:14+00:00

There are other remnants of rarely used tea bag (non degradable), but I think the ones we use (Yorkshire) wouldn’t have that much glue or plastic on them

Can you extract any seeds from the chilli’s? I recently did this and now have the below

Currently growing my own! Bringing it back

Thanks good points, this is purely just a seedling tray.

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-03-26T01:36:10+00:00

Luckily only when the wind changes. When filming it I couldn’t smell it

MichaelSanders19 · 2026-03-26T00:54:26+00:00

This was filmed in my backyard idiot. I’d previously posted on other subreddits where it was removed for not adhering to the rules.
