I was looking at my onions Friday and thinking I ought to give them a feed.....yesterday I got some BFB to feed them, Allium Leaf Miner had beat me to it, 160 onions with collapsed twisted leaves.

Sorry Boss. Do you often have trouble with Leaf miners?

Sorry boss , that really is a heart breaker.
Can you put photos of the damage on the pest thread please. I’ve never seen them. I don’t know what to look for.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

Heartbreaking  We get it here. Such a pain having to cover everything. I'm not good at netting/cages etc but it seems we need them more and more. Pigeons have just stripped my 3 gooseberry bushes. I dug the rest up because I wasn't getting any and just missed the boat trying to cover these.

Sorry about that happening, like Sc I have never had that happen, I have some of my onions covered with enviromesh which I was going to take off but after reading your post I will just leave it on
