Title: Bubbling, twisted leaves (again)
Post by: hubballi on June 23, 2013, 13:35

Here we go again. Planted beetroot (under insect mesh) but still the leaves are going bubbly and distorted. Any guesses ?

I keep asking you to post a picture, Hiubballi.  It really would be helpful!

Hubballi, just about impossible to accurately diagnose a pest or disease issue without photos, people would more or less be guessing. You could try googling Beetroot Pests & Diseases before posting, people appreciate it when people are seen to put at least some effort into finding a solution / answer before posting.

I'm sure a few seconds to take a picture would do no harm. 

You could do a bit of weeding or hoeing at the same time :)
