  • Shallot Disaster

    Back in mid-May, I planted a couple of dozen bulbs in light well-compost'd soil, less than half a dozen have poked their little shoots above the soil.

    Investigating yesterday (while there was a football match between England and somewhere else), I've seen that the ne'er-do-wells have grown root systems, but nowt else.

    What's gone wrong? Other members of the allium group are growing like gangbusters.

    Wirrit not. Mine did the same last year, but this year they look good - growing between the Runners.

      Ta'. It had been a last minute decision, as I freed up some more space... I bought the last of the supplies at the local garden centre, so mebbe they were duff.

      I've popped milk cartons over the surviving ones just to boost them a wee bit, and have been given access to a greenhouse so will try growing some of the others there.

        I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
