Arghhhhh !!! Invasive onion grass !!!

[stellanoir]

I've got a problem with it.

If memory serves, someone once told me that you can wipe it out with black tea.

Can anyone confirm this. . .?

Thanks in advance & Happy Spring.

1. Are they actually onions, or a type of grass?

The back of my yard is getting taken over by wild onions. I cry everytime I mow!!! I'd love to know how to get rid of them without destroying the grass too.

2. Pull them up

and eat them. We do that every year. cook with them, put them in salads. They don't last very long at all. At least around here they don't.

3. I have about 60 square feet of them!

If I ate that many, people around me would start to die! :rofl:

Pulling them bunch by bunch is going to be backbreaking... I want another answer! LOL

4. Well, that is

a lot of onions for a single person. I got nuthin'. :shrug:

5. It started in the very back corner of my yard, and it has grown

over the last 2 years to a strip about 15 feet long and 4 feet wide... not exactly uniform, but that's the best way I can estimate it.

6. Sorry I didn't see that anyone had responded until today.

The problem is that they are growing in the middle of perennials. So I either have to unearth them in their entirety or keep cutting them back.

It's a major pain.

I can cope though.

lol

I'm not gonna eat them but I will eat the seasonal indigenous ferns very soon with rice and other veggies.

Thanks.
