How can I get rid of wild garlic in my flower beds?
dig it up and eat it
Reply:As said before.... you will have to dig up the bulbs. If you don't, they will come back.
Reply:GARLIC: Plant near roses to repel aphids. Accumulates sulfur: a naturally occurring fungicide which will help in the garden with disease prevention. Garlic is systemic in action as it is taken up the plants through their pores and when used as a soil drench is also taken up by the roots. Has value in offending codling moths, Japanese beetles, root maggots, snails, and carrot root fly.


Researchers have observed that time-released garlic capsules planted at the bases of fruit trees actually kept deer away! Hey, worth a try!


Concentrated garlic sprays have been observed to repel and kill white flies, aphids and fungus gnats among others with as little as a 6-8% cconcentration! It is safe for use on orchids too.
Reply:You have to dig them out, but, I'd leave some because they help keep the bug infestations down.
