The only thing I can think of is to grow your onions in raised beds, high ones where the fungus can't easily spread. Old bathtubs would be ideal, so would tall half barrels. It will be a bit of nuisance but better than stinky rotting onions.  :(

Sorry to hear it Auntie, I have a secret reserve of TND's!

This is interesting, especially in regards to the use of garlic solution to help eradicate the problem.

The RHS say not to grow in that area of the garden again, the inference being that you should be OK to grow well away from the infected area.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

My father swears by Armillatox for white rot and claims to have "cured" his garden with it.
