Beetroot leaves dying

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

Hi acrylicspud,

I'm not sure but you might have a leaf miner or Mangold fly problem, but if I am wrong I am sure I will be corrected!!

Treatment-pick off and destroy affected leaves. Badly damaged leaves turn brown and growth is retarded.

You can spray with Malathion, but don't know if you are organic or not.
