Leeks Ruined

[Martin H]

Yep, I've got them on mine too. I pulled up a leek today to see what was ailing them and it was this little beastie.

We lost over 200 onion sets and all our leaks this year to it and most of our allotement members were also effected. This fly is now a major pest destroying members of the onion family and is spreading quickly across the UK.

Im suprised the rhs hasnt made more of this and advertised it as its a serious pest destroying crops
