If you’re pulling onion w**d by hand, you’re not fixing it. You’re multiplying it.
Why? It drops tiny bulblets into the soil when disturbed. Then you’ve got a bigger problem than you started with.
What works instead:
✂️ Slash or mow it down to ground level
🧴 Apply a suitable herbicide repeatedly until it dies back (always follow the label)
🟫 Smother patches with a tarp/barrier to weaken the bulb
Not sure what you’re dealing with or how to tackle it safely? can help. 🦊
