How do you get rid of chives?

Chives are relatively easy to get rid of, as they are not particularly aggressive or persistent weeds. Here are a few methods you can try:

Hand-pulling:

1. Grasp the chive plant firmly at its base.

2. Pull it out of the ground gently but firmly, ensuring that the entire root system is removed.

3. Dispose of the chives in a compost bin or trash bag.

Weeding:

1. Use a hoe or weed whacker to cut down the chives close to the ground.

2. Repeat the process regularly to prevent them from regrowing.

3. Over time, the lack of sunlight will weaken the chives, and they should eventually die off.

Chemical Control:

1. Use a non-selective herbicide containing glyphosate or glufosinate.

2. Follow the instructions on the product label carefully, taking precautions to protect yourself, other plants, and the environment.

3. Reapply the herbicide as needed to control any regrowth.

Note that chemical control should only be considered if other methods have failed, as herbicides can have negative impacts on the environment and beneficial organisms. Always read and follow the safety instructions on the herbicide label carefully.
