Combating club root

I have club root on my plot. One of the old guys on the site told me the best way to beat it is to first dig a hole for the seedling. Cover the surface with a layer of lime. Fill the hole with shop bought compost. Plant the seedling and then finally a sprinkling of chicken pellets around the seedling. I have had some mixed results using this method but have read somewhere adding lime & fertiliser at the same time is counter productive. Can anyone shed some light on this? Does anyone have any other ways to combat the dreaded club root?

I was told, to make sure you start with a good healthy well-grown plant, dust the roots with lime and plant as normal.  Not sure about fertilizer and lime, I have heard that too, but never seen any evidence.

club root is a micro organism that thrives in acid soil.
What you are doing here is providing a pocket of clean soil/ compost so the plant can get as bigger
root system as possible before coming into contact with infected soil.
I dig out a hole about 12" square and dust with lime.
The other posters are correct about mixing lime and manure, but in this case you are using the lime as
a barrier to slow down the spread of club root into your fresh soil/ compost.
My last plot had club root and by
Using club root resistant varieties growing them in pots and potting on until plants were in a 6 " pot.
Taking out at least a 12" square hole and dusting with lime.
Fill the hole with bought in compost or soil and plant out your plants.
I put chicken manure pellets close to base of the plants not near the lime barrier.
I know it is expensive with this amount of fresh compost but it does work.
As a yorkshire man I mix in any old grow bag compost with a handful of blood fish and bone to a 2 gallon bucket( provided it as been nowhere near the affected soil ) and use this 50/50 with new stuff.

I too have this problem. Clean soil is essential. I grow my plants in 5" pots and transplant into a limed hole. Once the roots get into the contaminated soil it has club root but not enough to affect the plant.
This year I have a cunning plan. Many of the roadside verges have mole hills. I shall collect this soil and use it to transplant some of the brassicas into larger pots which I will sink into the allotment. Worth a try.
