Do I have to do a 6 year rotation with potato onions??
Thanks :)

that would depend are they potatoes or onions. if onion yes. if potatoes you follow potatoes rotation.
just kidding. the answer is obvious.  next you will be asking what type toads to put in toad in the hole.

erm...I didnt know if it was a true allium or not :) So I rotate them like other alliums? I wondered if them being perrenial made a difference.

Mine are staing in a perennial bed so will not be rotating XX Jeannine

Just don't plant them somewhere you're going to plant another allium the following year.

I'd rotatoe them as per shallots.... got a nasty feeling I've lopst all of mine to onion white rot, but it's possible some have set seeds.... they all flowered so fingers crossed....

Ooh - thanks for this - I just remembered I replanted 2 of mine as they were flowering - must go and check on them tonight. I had completely forgotten about them.  ;D
