Does anyone know where you can buy soakaway worms from on the Costa Blanca please ???
Hi Tracey
what are "soakaway worms". Never heard that, we use granules from Mercadona for our soakaway (poto negro) which provides bacterial matter to deal with this. Don't know if this is what you mean to do.

Yes, in a box from Mercadonna 6€ box. In the "olden days" the Spanish used to put an animals head down yuk!! I believe the granules provide a bacterial effect instead. I have sometimes put "off meat or fish" down the loo too. Never heard of worms being sold for the purpose. I, ll watch this post with interest. Suppose you could dig some up from garden?

Yes, sold in the detergent section by toilet cleaners etc. I think they are described for septic tanks but we have the old fashioned poto negra(black hole). We are non residents but we will have to consider a new biological septic tank if we want to sell our property in the future.

Our local co-op in Sax sells what are called 'fossa septicas' which we just flush down the pan.
I haven't put one down for ages and it still seems to be working. However, I am sure that detergents and bleach etc going down the drain can't be doing it any good.
Just for info. it has only been emptied once in 10 years and even then it was nowhere near full, so it will be another 10 years before I look again.
