I have been using slug banish for two years now and am delighted with the results. I also have used the bio-sterilant mustard and it appears to have have made an impact on the onion white rot which has ruined my onjon and garlic for the past two years. At the present time the onions and shallots are not showing any sign of disease, and the shallots will soon be ready to harvest. I wonder if anyone else has reported this?

Rose Hip Syrup Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 bs (2kg) Cluster Colourama or Trailblazer rose hips
- 5 pints (3l) water
- 2 lbs (2kg) sugar
Method
- Put halved rose hips into a large preserving pan with sufficient cold water to cover, bring to boil and simmer until the hips are soft.
- Strain through a piece of muslin or a scalded jelly bag. Don't be tempted to squeeze the liquid out of the fruit as this will cause the syrup to become cloudy.
- When all the liquid has passed through the bag, put it into a clean pan, bring to the boil and reduce it to about 2½ pints (1.5l).
- Then add sugar to taste. When the sugar has dissolved, leave the syrup to cool slightly.
- Pour into clean screw-top bottles.
- Store in a cool cupboard. Refrigerate bottles once opened.
One tablespoon night and morning can ward off winter ills and chills. Rose hip syrup also makes a delicious drink if diluted with sparkling mineral water or soda water, or try drizzling it over ice cream.
