Help! The Onions are taking over!

[knowltondata]

I've got onions all over my yard! How do I get rid of them?

[Dr.Bizzaro]

Salads, Philly Cheese steaks, onion soup, you can fry them, some sweet ones you can just eat raw, they're good for you! You could donate some to a local food bank, too.
Good Luck and keep up the good work

I just looked at your website. A nice one I might add. I see landscaping and lawncare are just part of the services you offer. Thanks for an honest reply something that appears to be in short supply here by some members.

Should you real want to push the Green side of your business, then learning the names of the turf and common plants can be every important. The first course I ever took was "ID of landscape plants". I spend many hours at nurseries and retail Plant stores when I took this course, looking at Plant Names and Plants as marked. That one Course was the Biggest boast to my sales and success of any of the other schooling and college degree I recieved. First when making sales calls Knowing all the names of the plant in the customer yard gave them confident in me. Second, Once knowing the name of a plant gave me a way of researching a problem or fact about that plant.

Thanks... I'm happy with it, considering that I know very little about websites. The way I ended up doing any lawncare was that the owners of the rental houses I work on were begging me to do it. Kinda thrown into the deep end of horticulture!

You are right, I need to learn that stuff, even if all I do is cut a few yards for rentals... and that last comment of yours is just too true.

You know of any good landscape plant ID books? I plan to take additional courses on plants, just interested if you know of any top books you could recommend.

For Florida I know of a bunch. Went to a plant show couple of weeks ago and found another I really liked so I bought it. It had a quick reference with symbols at the top of the page for each plant. It also had nice pictures of those plants as well as a lot of other information.

But New York area is kind of out of my area of expertise. Maybe some of your yankee friend that spell there screen name with a Small "p" can help you out.

I noticed a lot of lawns around the Clayton/Cleveland area have these onions.... though there are two lawns down the road that I could only dream of having... deep dark green....

Use a product called "Image", it should take care of the problem.

These may have already been mentioned. It's almost 2:30am and I don't feel like reading at the moment.

First of all, you need to mow them even if the lawn is dormant. This will help to weaken the plants. Second, you need to spray them with an ester postemergent herbicide with a spreader-sticker. That should help you get a jump start on controlling it. Timing the follow-up treatments can be the tricky part, but with a little trial and error you should be able to eradicate it in a couple of years.

I strongly recommend a soil test. Weed problems are usually due to weak/thin turf, and the weak turf is caused by poor soil conditions. Without a soil test you'll never be able to properly address the real problems occurring in your yard.
