Hi

The Garlic Farm, (I bought my garlic from them), suggests sulphate of potash as in the message below.


"Hi Ric,

I would suggest a liberal application of sulphate of potash.

Unfortunately, Rust is not curable; all you can do at this stage is help to prevent the onset of the disease worsening.

Should Rust continue to develop, the knock-on effect of this disease is reduced bulb size.

Cheers
