The answer is to get down on your knees, with a radio and mug of tea
close by, and hand weed them out..pull them out with your fingers while
they are still small and weak enough to do that. It's a lot less work
than letting them get bigger and having to use a hand fork. Collect them
as you weed and dump them in the compost bin. Keep up the weeding every
few weeks throughout summer.

Or get a good hoe and go over the ground whenever they are getting too much
like I do on the allotment.

I don't like hoeing round onions..I reckon it disturbs their shallow
roots too much

I do recommend the smaller Push Pull Weeder from Wolf, handles come
separately and you get the length that suits you

I was using mine this afternon and it really is one of the best
garden tools ever made.
