Practical tips
- Crush a leaf; an onion or garlic smell confirms it is wild onion or wild garlic, not regular grass.
- Pulling usually leaves the bulbs behind; dig with a narrow trowel to get the whole clump out.
- Mowing alone will not kill them, but it keeps them from setting new bulbs on top.
- Ask a local lawn pro about a fall and late-winter treatment plan, since it often takes more than one season.
