Things Needed
Bulbs are flowers or flora that spring up each year from seedlike packet in the primer coat . Once the flowers bloom , the foliage gather energy for the next year ’s growth . Bulbs typically procreate by creating young offshoots each growing season . Some electric-light bulb plants , such as lily of the vale , wild onion or wild garlic , produce bulb offshoots at such a spectacular pace that the plant may become invasive . One resolution for master encroaching lightbulb is to shoot down them .
Step 1
Wait for the bulb plant to come forth from the ground before treat it with a chemical herbicide . Pre - emergent herbicides will not kill bulb industrial plant .
Step 2
choose a pre - mixed systemic post - emerging weedkiller control glyphosate in a spray bottle to care for the flower bulb plant life .
Step 3
Time the software of post - emerging herbicide once the industrial plant sends out shoots . For lily of the valley , this will be in springtime . Wild garlic and Allium cepa respond best in November .
Step 4
Mow the plant before treat them . Many bulb plant such as garlic or wild Allium cepa have thin , glossy leaves to which herbicides do n’t easily adhere . cut down the plant create a shortened aerofoil on which herbicide will cohere .
Step 5
Put on protective clothing including baseball glove , tenacious sleeve , long pants and close - toed shoe before apply the herbicide . Wear a breathing masque to prevent breathe in the spray mist .
Step 6
site a plastic dropcloth around the plant to prevent accidentally poisoning desirable surrounding grass or plant . Systemic herbicides are non - selective ; they will kill anything they stir .
Step 7
Spray the weed killer over the stem and cut surface of the bulb plants .
Step 8
watch over the flora to find if a 2nd coating of spray will be required . Wild garlic or Allium cepa may need a second program of spray in early spring before they can produce a 2d coevals of bulb in March .
Step 9
audit the area where the bulbs develop doubly annually , in early spring and late twilight , for the next four to six years to define if the electric light plants are returning . Treat the bulb as the plants come forth . Some dogged bulbs such as wild garlic may need continual handling for up to six year to completely obliterate the plants .
Tip
Mowing electric-light bulb plants will not kill them but will weaken the bulbs and prevent them from collecting energy .
