Hi all.

Just taken on my first plot. The previous owner has told me that there is club root on the plot. I was really looking forward to growing brassicas next year and now it would appear that I cant. Any advice?

[mumofstig]

There's some good advice here

Thanks..Its as I feared. A terminal plot illness

[mumofstig]

not terminal at all....It just needs more effort to grow brassicas!

Lots of plots have it.
Lots of lime and one of the many resistant varieties and you stand a good chance

I've got it - well at least my plot has - follow the link that mos gave and you'll be OK. I've had some cracking "Clapton" caulis.

As colleagues here are saying -- don't give up, just follow their good advice and all will be well

and please do not pass it on elsewhere, by being vigilant

pot em up and plant out after you have a good root system

Don't forget the lime!

I've grown some huge caulis & cabbages (see my avatar  ). My calabrese did well til it went to seed. You'll be fine  .

Don't forget the lime!
