Garlic, not so invincible

Would you beleive it, a few weeks later I was in the woods looking up at the trees for Oyster Mushrooms & I hit a stump with the other foot.

David A is great, got a signed copy of The Trials of Life somewhere.

You have been going through the wars zigs. Have you considered staying in bed and not getting up.
David A is a legend. He has brought conservation values to the many.
You must be stoked to have a book signed by him.

It did occur to me. Having a walking stick had its advantages, i'm a National Trust member, when we visited places they would take one look at the stick & then arrange the mini bus or golf cart to get us round the gardens.

Nothing like the fringe benefits of getting old, well maybe.Do you still carry a stick for a bit of a walk? I'm unsure what it's like over in the UK but I'm very polite and open doors and ensure people with leg problems have a seat.

Still got it in the back of the car for any strenuous garden visits. Yep, had all the door holding & giving up seats stuff, restores your faith in humanity.

Going back to onions, just read of someone peeling them in a bowl of water to stop the fumes making their eyes water. But they saved the water as it is full of sulphur, added a drop of seaweed extract & used it to spray Roses against black spot fungus.

Thats illegal in the EU, but i'm sure OZ is more sensible when it comes to things like that.

Sorry you had such problems. I have been putting all of my onion and garlic scraps into my compost pile. I will stop this practice immediately!

It's better be safe then sorry later on. There's only a small chance but it is rife in the commercial industry and it takes only one piece of infected material, in fact one fungal spore to make it into your compost to spread it around.

You know I never thought about it that way until now. Once again, thank you for the information!

Thanks for the heads up on the disease! My garlic patch is tiny (its just for me), but its good to know not to compost any of the scraps of onions I buy from the store just in case. I would hate to have my patch wiped out. I get quite attached to my garden.
