One of my garlic plants has gone yellow, the bulb is mush. These are the co-op eating garlic i sowed "just to see". Two of the others in the same trough are looking a tad ropey too.
Could this be caused by poor drainage, the soil is very wet, or is it the dreaded onion rot?
The plants are in a window box filled with multi purpose compost. However soil is pretty wet, I dont think I put enough holes in the bottom
Am I right in assuming onion rot is soil borne so as long as I dont put soil in compost I should be ok with my other plants in seperate tubs?
thanks in advance

Your local GC, or B&Q/Focus/Wilko should have spring planting garlic bulbs, and probably shallots too.
