That will only kill the plants that have leafed out, not the many bulbils
that the plants produce.

The bulbils will sprout later and you will need to start all over again.

The problem is that not all the bulbils will sprout at the same time.

I have these annoying clumps of onion grass that pop up randomly all over

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 made a pair of 2' wooden tongs and fastened sponges on the end. I
dip the tongs in (extra strength) Roundup and go around the yard
wiping the onion grass. It only takes about 15 minutes, then the
onions are gone in a week. Otherwise just let them be and the summer
heat will kill them back (for another year).
