Hi
I am new on here.
I love gardening and we try and grow as much as we possible can. We grow
garlic
and we have got terrible rust on it. We had the same problem last
year. We ended
up pulling the garlic early as it was so bad.
Does anyone know what to do about it?
Thanks
Beep

Please tell us where you are, what the climate is like and how you grow your
garlic.

hi
I live in Cornwall, and we grow it in raised beds about 2" apart.

How close to the sea? Garlic rust? Have to look it up. Garlic
does like bone meal though. I'm not much help.

Following up me own post, I looked on Wikiapedia. And it is a
fungus, sulfur powder might do the trick or a fugicide with
azoxystrobin in the label. It is safe except to fish and easily
broken down in the soil causes no harm to earthworms.
Companion plants:Clover, Chive, Leek , Nasturtium , Southernwood,
Daffodils. You can find that all on Wikiapedia
