01
Why the pipe objects
Loose leaves can settle, collect in bends and bind with grease much like coffee grounds.
02
Do this instead
Use a tea strainer and compost or trash the spent leaves.
03
Already did it?
Do not send more solids after it. If the fixture slows, rises or gurgles, stop using it and contact a plumber.
