What Is This Weed And How Do I Kill It?

Question

Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it? It’s coming up in my raised garden bed, I’m pulling dozens of them a day and can’t keep up! Looks like some sort of grass with a little seed/root/ball at the bottom. Thank you!

That would be a sedge grass. They will be quite difficult to rid, and if you have flowers that you care about in your garden then you are doing the best thing possible. Hand pulling will be the best way to keep them down, unfortunately.
