city girl here. You need to explain whether that means cut it and stick it in a vase with some water or do something clever with the seeds.

Anyway, it was vile stuff with not much coffee in it, but lots of chicory.
You can still buy it - it's useful for flavouring a coffee cake....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Some people go years and years not empting a tank, my parents do theirs annually. Its not a huge expense, but, from experience, a house ful of guests at christmas, especially if you use a soakaway not a modern thing like ours, and its raining....its almost a certainty to have a ''plumbing issue''. I'll probably get into an autumn routine, so its wrm enough hen empty to reestablish some bacteria quickly enough. I think we won't need it done this year, but will have a look just in case!
My parents haven't emptied theirs once since it was installed - it just does its thing, quietly, no hassle.

Doubt many here are old enough to remember this but when I was a coffee-addicted student, for at least one year there was a terrible harvest and we were all stuck drinking not just camp but dozens of different brands of coffee diluted with chicory.
Even powdered tea (Nestea) made a bit of a comeback, which was a wartime drink I think.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
I think you are very brave LIR (along with other very brave souls on this thread). I am panicking over my silly droopy eye (as it could mean carcinomas on the same side of the body according to one link) and I really wish I hadn't googled it now. I would also like to take a moment to say I am very glad you are alive too

I have a droopy eye but it's from wearing contact lenses. If you do wear lenses, check with your opticians first.
Been a busy week and weekend. Yesterday made elderberry syrup for colds this winter, onion marmalade, gherkin pickle and some passata. Tomato harvest (from ripening on the windowsill) is passable but OH now has grand plans of all-weather cover for the tomatoes so I don't end up in tears again.
Cleared a bit of garden today but had some showers and need to pop into work before going out for a gig this evening. debating whether to have a skip for the garden waste or do a few tip runs a week before the people at the tip realise we're carting 1 tonne bags every few days.0 -
that's what we went for, and wit will feed in to a grey water recylcing system and THEN go through a reed bed on the second time round before going in to the Cake.Other choices is a water treatment centre, which will treat the sewage, and produce water clean enough to put into a soakaway..
The tank still needs emptying, but the water that leaves it is ...supposedly..drinking quality.0 -
well, the car breaks again 0
