I too have fallen prey to the dreaded onion white rot! I lost a lot of my crop to it. I thought about remove a deep layer of topsoil from one bed, and refilling it with sterilised soil from somewhere(?). Or.... growing onions in troughs, tubs and pots. Although, even the onions that I grew in a tub still fell prey. It is transferred through garden tools, on your feet etc! Nightmare! Good luck.... Tatty

Cripes! That sounds bad.

Oh what a nuisance. I lost all my onions too this year - to rabbits nibbling the tops of after chewing through the netting - and those that grew again got swallowed up by the weeds whilst I was ill.

So I gave up on them this year - we will have to buy them - there were more urgent things to do at the time.

Your plots looking good though despite the hiccups.
