Default F'in Rust

Fcking Rust | Reweed Allotment Blog

can read my thoughts there.

But! I'm guessing it's an air borne problem, as everyone on the allotment has had a rubbish year for garlic.

Are there any ways to combat it?

So far as I know there is no products available to the amateur gardener to cure this problem.

Luckily I have missed out with it this year but I do get it from time to time.

This is how I treat it; Allium rust

I will be lifting my garlic within the next couple of days so I will report back to you once I have!
