Onion - ok (significant amount of white rot)
Not bothered due to white rod.
Leeks - ok (going well, hard to call atm)
Likewise
I've never had a problem with my leeks despite the white rot problems.
I'm going to try the garlic-watering idea before trying to plant onions
this time.
Ah; I meant the "hard to call". Yes white rot doesn't seem to affect
them - just allium moth and leek moth !
Ah, I see. Yes. I get rust. (I should towel down better!)
I will have to look up "garlic watering" presumably dehibernating the
white onion rot organism.
*nod* Apparently a weak garlic solution watered onto the patch brings out
the white rot but it finds nothing to grow on, and after a few attempts it
burns itself out. Allegedly. I haven't tried it yet, and I have no idea
what strength to go for.
I did a bit of looking up and came up with : 1 clove crushed per
watering canfull. Treat 1 m2 soil , fork over and repeat. Soil
temperature 15-20 C.so may be late for this year.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good
