We have this disease in our soil on the allotment and have learnt to live
with it. However this year it seems very bad, usually we get one or two
plants in a row that rot but this year it's totally reversed in the case of
our French Grey Shallots, only two good plants. Our garlic and Jermor
Shallots have also suffered much worse than usual and we have today pulled
up a large bag of onions that have stopped growing and fallen over because
of it.
How is it for those of you with this soil born disease this year?

I gave up growing alliums as vegetables many years ago because
of it!

So far not too bad - fingers and everything else crossed.
