RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT TO INTER-PLANT LEEKS WITH MINT TO ADDRESS ALLIUM LEAF MINER BY COMPANION PLANTING:
It's now March 2025 and I have just harvested the last leek. Two showed signs of allium leaf minor on outer sections that could be stripped away. It's obviously not a total solution, but I think it is better than last year so I am going to try interplanting with mint in 2025. Watch this space for the outcome.
