I know failsafe would be to keep net on until leeks are pulled but, for various reasons wondered if ok to remove it in,say , a months time?
Thanks for any views on this

My leeks are currently uncovered as I don’t normally cover them.
They have some rust but are ok other than that.
I would uncover them unless you have leek moths locally.

Ours are covered. Currently we have leek moth in the area and it'll surely be followed by the second bout of allium miner. From experience I'd sooner keep them covered a while longer than risk losing the lot.

As I've said a few times I think over the years on here, never had anything attack my leeks.
Have had a very small amount of rust on a few leeks many years ago, not seen it in recent years.

My leeks are planted in different areas in raised beds around my plot.
I do cover some of them them for a short time when first planted for about a month, just to stop anything trampling or blowing onto them while settling in their watered holes. For the rest of their time until early Spring they uncovered.

Looking like I will be picking some in a few weeks time, they are fattening up nicely.

My allotment partner left the ones she planted uncovered and they look ok.  The OB next door said his had been attacked so he nets them;  therefore, I thought I'd do the same.  Uncover in November, appen

I've not covered my leeks and they are doing ok, if only I could keep the foxes and neighbours cats from doing their business on the bed with them I would be a happy man, but otherwise following the posts on here has proven to be excellent
