    It's the overwintering that's the problem which allows the rust to survive and infect new plants.  Don't overwinter anything this year and you'll have a better chance of being clear next year.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Does the fungicide mix (Edd) work on onion neck-rot?  It devastated my onions and leeks last year, first time I've ever had a problem.  There are no commercial fungicides available for food crops, only roses.
