Allium leaf minor
This year Allium leaf minor has devastated the majority of onions on our Allotment site in Derbyshire. One day the onions were looking good, two days later they have all been devastated. Whether the wet weather has had an influence I do not know. I think I will have to dig them all up and put in the...

Re: rain and the soil
I sprinkled a load of rock dust at the start of the winter onto my raised beds, but I think I wasted my time.
I have added loads of organic matter over the years so I hope this will stand me in good stead this year, but it still is a concern.

rain and the soil
I suppose with all of the rain we are experiencing all of the nutrients will have washed out of the soil.
Will it be a case of applying some sort of fertilizer or do we need to add other materials to boost the soil again.
Thanks

Re: Gardening gloves
The problem I have is being right handed I wear the ends out of the fore finger and the middle finger.
I have a pile of left handed gloves which are fine but holes in the right handed gloves.

Re: Rats bait
Rats and Mice love peanut butter, mix some of the poison with this and they will eat it all. You can wrap the mix in cling film if you want to keep it dry this time of year, they will still eat it.
