I have these annoying clumps of onion grass that pop up randomly all over my
yard. Oftentimes when I try to pull them out they break at the soil level
and the onion bulbs stay intact underground and regrow. They seem to be very
hardy. Any suggestions on how to best get rid of them?

I read several years ago that a wax "weed bar" was about the only
control that would stick to wild onion leaves long enough to kill it.
At that time, they were available in the local garden center, but very
expensive. Searching the web this morning only turned up Canadian
references, and a mention of a Killex weed bar.

It's easier to pull up wild onion/onion grass after a good soaking
rain. I also notice that they only seem to grow up and flourish for
two shortish periods in a summer season, and are very easy to mow.
