The weed in the attached photo is growing like wildfire in my field beside my house on Achill Island. I cannot kill it. Do you have any suggestions as to how to take care of this?

This is black bog rush, a sedge species, common in the west of Ireland on boggy ground.
You can kill the existing plants with a directed spray of glyphosate, but if you don’t improve drainage, Â it is likely to re-establish from seeds in the ground.
Or mow it down to tidy it.Â
