Onion weed

[Ian J Robinson]

I believe that a product called 'DACTHAL', a pre-emergence chemical, will
control Onion Weed.
It evidently attacks the bulb, (the heart of the weed), and stops it from
growing.
I'm only a home gardener so I can't vouch for the efficiency of this
product.

We call the Guildford Grass here and it is different to the onion weed I
know....

I agree with you there. The onion weed I know of has small white flowers on long stems and long slender blades - and I believe it is a member of the Oxalis family. I tried for quite a few years to get rid of it in my garden while I lived in Sydney, but no matter what I did, I was never totally successful - and that included using Glyphosate (round-up) diluted as per the instructions, and even used neat. No matter how much of it I killed, more would come up elsewhere.

At school, we called them Puddings -- you can dig the corm up and eat it. It
is pudding-shaped, of course.

What I call Onion Weed is Nothoscordum inodorum.
