Thorpist   72 #1 Posted July 31, 2019 I have suffered badly with this pest this year and I am wondering if other growers are having trouble. Having white rot on my plot I decided to grow my garlic in tubs, all was fine until I noticed the plants looking decidedly unhealthy, on close inspection I found the maggot and pupas just under the surface of all my plants.  On the plus side I got to them just in time and was able to harvest the crop albeit early. They are now pickled so not a complete waste. It may be a good idea to net any recently planted leeks to stop the next generation laying eggs. As they are active March -June, September-November it may be best to delay garlic planting until mid November and then net at the end of February.
