Hi I noticed some rust on my garlic plants this morning - what do people generally do, try and control it, or ignore it?

I was just looking for the same answer. ...
Mine are covered, though. :/ -

Mine are 'glowing' with rust, had same last year, bulbs were OK in the end, bit small.
Think I did remove some of the leaves, but doesn't really help much.DottyRComment

I read about sulphate of potash helping protect against rust but never tried it? I had a little bit of rust on a few overwintered,in the ground for over a year leeks (they were tiny & I left them in there last summer to grow & they did ok,better than pencil size
). I peeled off the outer leaves & they were fine inside & it hasn't spread to my garlic next to it (yet!)
