Hawthorns, what size mesh did you use to net your alliums?Comment

I was talking to someone from Littleover in Derbyshire today and they had it on their plot last year. She has environmeshed this year.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Had it here (South London) for at least the last 3 years. I do find that most plants will recover, to some extent, and grow through it from October onwards when there are fewer on the wing as it cools. Any plants that suffer a bad attack are cut to within an inch or two of the ground. Again, many recover and grow back strongly from the stump, but there are always a few losses. Garlic and onions have never suffered as the worst attacks are in August/Sptember and other alliums are unlikely to be in the ground then.
Not resorted to net yet; I get a llittle downhearted looking at rows of netting everywhere - probably will next year, though. Sigh...Where there's muck, there's brassicasComment

Garden Organic survey shows Allium leaf miner spreading fast - News story from Garden organic
This is an allium leaf miner survey - but it's hard to tell whether it's leek moth or allium leaf miner that people have. Same end results though.

Fifth year!....little b*ggers get through enviromesh but it does reduce the damage alot.... I do have some of the fine mesh but failed to try it in time 
Most recover over winter although some do seem susceptible to other infections.Comment

The 'old boys' on the plots just cut the tops off and leave them to regrow, it seems to work
