Title: Just a wee bit disappointed.
Post by: tim on June 28, 2008, 08:11:28
Just hoped that I could find one patch in the garden without the dreaded rot.

Failed again! So I shall have to lift it all, including the unaffected ones, despite being nowhere near ready.

Back to raised beds next year - we're just finishing last year's r/b crop.

You must be gutted Tim - sorry for you.  Mine so far seem unaffected this year touch wood.

Thankfully it only affects on of my plots so I've not grown them there for years.. 2012 is when I intend to try them again on that plot!  :-\

so what causes them to rot - is this disease or water logging or ?
