I used to live in an area that rotted the potatoes, onions, Etc. becuase of
too much rain. As soon as I planted those items in a raised bed or in
raised rows, the problem went away. It might help there also, if you havent
tried it already.

Why not keep some of your own garlic, acclimated to your particular
situation, rather than buy new each year?


Our ground does have a bit of White Rot in patches so I try not to plant
any alliums I've grown to try to stop it spreading. We lose a few onions
every year but not enough to make us stop growing them.
