 Evening all, am just spreading this as widely as possible and thought some of the more dark greenies might have more time for this sort of posting;)

Tomato soup often has oil or a fatty compound in it to thicken it. A one off scrub with a degreaser will do the fosse no harm. Worth a try.

I am trying to imagine why would you want to put tomato soup down the loo, rather than down the sink drain in the first place?

One treatment of something stronger and chemically unsound for a fosse will not kill all the good bacteria so don't worry too much about that.

Jane, the fosse regulation only allows you to distribute more & more tomato soup equality into the loo so it becomes a nice orange colour ;-), Well try this "lemon alcohol" cleaner in white plastic bottle which you can find in the supermarket...

Can any one help?

I tipped tomato soup down the toilet about 3 months ago.
When I clean the toilet the stain goes away, but within a couple of days the orange stain comes back.

Any ideas how to get rid of it permanently?

By the way we're have a septic tank so are limited with what we can use to keep the bacterial balance.

Thank you very much Brian Milne. I appreciate the info.  :D

Kenda, I have a list in a book. Loquat (if you can find a tree), mulberries, blackberries, figs, apricots with minimal irrigation, some apples grafted on to drought resistant stock, quinces and olives if you cover the leaves with frost proof materials for three or four years.

Welcome to all new members.

Chris, tried growing celeriac last year but it went to seed. Our soil is medium clay plus horse manure and own compost and situated just north of Pau in the south west.

Kenda, I haven't any experience with fruit growing.

I grew it in England. My soil was fairly loose and where I grew the celeriac was not heavily manured. So, I cannot say anything about heat, but my ones were nothing like commercially grown ones, perhaps about half the size. It's lovely 50/50 with spuds for mash though, so feed back on how it does and I may try again here in the SW.

ANYONE with experience of growing celeriac? WE live in southern Tarn and our soil is heavy clay but much improved with cow muck. Will celeriac survive long hot summers?
