Oh Macmac didn't mean to upset you :'(.  I don't like raised beds but, just a theory here, if white rot is in the soil and you build a raised bed above it with new soil high enough for the onion roots not to come in contact with the old soil, is it possible to bypass white rot for a few years, just a thought?
