We have found our onions have downy mildew We have pulled them all up and cut the necks and put them in the pt in the racks pointing downward through the racks. This was suggested to us by another allotmenteer we did ti in a bit of a panic and now we are wondering if we have done the right thing. Looking at other people on the plot they have the same problem. Have we done the wrong thing????

Hi Catherine, i found this link explaining your problem and how to avoid it. http://www.which.co.uk/documents/pdf/on ... 153656.pdf
If you have the time see my reply to Alan on synergistic gardening on how to arm your plants against this it takes a bit of time to change methods, I am still converting mine.
