We can start out with the common way of getting rid of your onions. First you can pull them up so they will not go to seed. Next you could disk them up, which would kill the other vegetation you might want to keep. The last suggestion would be to use spray. This also will kill any vegation that the spray may come in contact with. There are several different sprays that you could purchase at a store that sells garden items. Read the lable to make sure you purchase the correct kind an follow directions. After the plant goes to seed the seeds should only last in the ground one or two years. I would suggest pulling the onions as the safest method.
Hope this will help you,
