Whats eating my Lovage?

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

I appear to have a leaf miner rapidly eating my lovage. It starts with the classic tell tale signs of brown "tracks" appearing in the leaf and before I know it the whole leaf has turned brown as the green cells of the leaf have been stripped away.
Last year I cut the whole plant down thinking this would disrupt the life cycle of the pest but the same problem has occured again this year.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Has anyone a suggested cure?
