Garlic Rust prevention!
« on: October 18, 2014, 07:44 »
My garlic was covered in rust this year like most of you! I read on "The Garlic Farm" blog that if you stick a piece of copper wire through the garlic stem this can prevent it. What do you think? Would it kill the plant? Here is a link to the blog http://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/garlic_farmers_blog.aspx

I have got some wire ready to test but first I think I might try my leeks as my own garlic seed is a bit to precious if it doesn't work.
