Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

I know there is not much I can do other than stop growing onions, garlic, leeks etc but can anyone give me an idea of what it is like to suffer this problem and any ways to manage it to get a crop?

These are over wintered onion sets pulled this morning on my second plot I took on last year. Leeks sown in the summer did very well but looks like the onions have been at, about 50% at the moment. Garlic looks Okish in the main. I knew the plot had club root but no one mentioned white rot.

My first plot has been fine but no alliums in that this year though leeks will follow early spuds.
