Hi I have this plant in my garden how do I get rid of it?  It was here when I moved in and it grows out of control.  Im pretty sure it's this grass.  It grows so easy and it's started popping up between paving now too which I cut away straight away but want rid of altogether so I can gravel over where it is.  Any tips would be appreciated thanks.

    It’s a pretty thing but it does spread if it’s happy. It’s either dig it out with a fork or use glyphosate, wait until it’s all gone brown and then dig the roots out so they don’t become a trip hazard.
