Leek Problem
« on: October 15, 2017, 14:10 »
I am a Newbie in my second season.
Can anyone tell me what this pest is that has just destroyed my Leeks and what I can do to stop it happening again?

Looks like Alium Leaf Miner.

There are no chemical controls available to the amateur gardener. You can prevent them by covering with fleece/Enviromesh.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Hi I had that issue a couple of years ago - Apparently it's allium leaf miner.  I have covered my leeks with micro mesh since then and it works well.

Thanks
