The bulb. It's just like a tulip bulb you might plant in a garden. A bulb is made of modified leaves, so each layer of the onion and its paper are specialized leaf tissue. They are used by the plant as energy storage; at the end of the growing season the plant undergoes die-back where the above ground portion dies and the sugars from it get concentrated in the bulb. The energy stored is used to grow the plant back next season.

Will controlling a lawn's wild onions with Roundup kill the grass?

Answer 1 is not incorrect, as RoundUp is a systemic herbicide, and will damage or kill your Bermuda, IF IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH [GETS ON] it. However, if you very carefully use a technique used by farmers, you can get away with using RoundUp. As the wild onions grow much taller than your Bermuda, if you saturate [but not to the point of dripping off] an old disposable towel [rolled around an old disposable broom or mop handle] with RoundUp, and then "wipe" the onion tops with it, then the RoundUp will get only on the onions, be absorbed into the leaves, and will systemically kill them. Due to the limited amount involved, and the metabilism of most of the product within the onions, there should be no killing of your Burmuda. It is critical however that you not allow even the smallest droplet of the RoundUp to CONTACT your Bermuda.j3h. Answer 3

When you cut Garlic no tears come out but you cut onion tears come out why?
Sulfur. Bulb roots with higher sulfur content cause you to tear up. When cutting the bulbs, it releases the sulfur in a gaseous form. Gaseous sulfur seaks water and the most convenient/noticable place it finds it is in the very sensative tissue of your eyes. Sulfur While both onions and garlic have sulfur in them, in the onions there is more moisture which helps the sulfur (in the form of sulfuric acid) reach your eyes. Since garlic is smaller and usually not as juicy its sulfur doesn't make it to your eyes as easily.
