Root Maggots and also garlic wax

Steve et al

If root maggots and not club root are your problem, try beneficial nematodes.

If the problem turns out to be club root, rotate AND try raising your soil
pH with lime, wood ash, Phosphate rock or whatever.

Try mixing the garlic with beeswax if it' easily available. The wax
supposedly protect the leaves while the garlic acts as a deterrent to
feeding and just hanging around in general.
