I love leeks but threw in the towel because I have allium leaf miners and they've ruined my leeks for multiple years. They get in between all the layers of the leek making it impossible to save the crop. This bug/fly comes in spring and fall and lays its eggs. The only help from it is to cover the crop and that can be difficult with crops that grow tall. This pest goes after all related crops such as onion, shallots, scallions and this year I found it in my garlic. If you have any solution to this I’d appreciate any help. I called our state agricultural help line and found out that this is not an easy fix. I live in S Ct.
