How do I get rid of garlic and onions in flower beds and lawn?

I planted garlic by the roses to get rid of aphids and did not get to the seeds in time. Same with onions. When I began digging, I also discovered the many little bulbs forming around the 1st one. I have been digging ever since then and they seem to come back multiplied.

    Pulling is the best option. pulling from wet soil is always more productive than dry. So go out after a rain, reach down to the soil line and tug gently; that's how you get the underground bulb out completely. If you only snap them off at the soil line, the plant is not harmed; you spend the same amount of time and energy as someone who does it correctly, but get no benefit.

    You can also remove tight clumps with a sharp, long-handled 'poachers spade', Good luck!
