Unwanted bulbs in soil

Yes, I’ve had times when Nothoscordum rice bulbs and surrounding soil were left in black plastic bags in the hot sun to finally give up the ghost. But - this might take two years before it’s safe to dump out the bags. In the meantime the bags have to be kept somewhere in the garden...

Great idea! What about putting the moist soil and bulbs in a plastic bag in the hot summer sun. Would that work?

Instead of throwing away presumably good soil, and spreading unwanted bulbs at the dump, why not cook the soil? Boiling in a large kettle, or baking in the oven or outdoor barbecue, will cook any onion.
