Club root
I have a friend who tells me he has club root on his allotment.
I haven't grown the cabbage family for over 5 years now, but when I did there were various powders that could be made into pastes to alleviate the problem. I assume things have moved on so what are the current palliatives for this? -- Jim S Tyneside UK http://www.jimscott.co.uk |

Also good plot rotation helps to ensure the club root does not affect plants so badly, although once it's in the soil it takes many years for it to go. www.rraa.moonfruit.com |

I sow all my edible brassicas in seed trays and prick out to plastic vending machine cups. I then plant out when they are ready. Using a tip that I got from Ryton, I place a couple of inches of a stick of rhubarb in the planting hole. I have not seen clubroot since. When I sow seeds, such as wallflower, I bury sticks of rhubarb alongside the rows, and the the short piece when I plant out. It works for me. Dave Henry. |
