Wicken is a type of grass. Suppose you would spray it with weedkiller like any other grass

I did google it, but got lots of stuff about Wicca and some village called Wicken...

Type in Wicken grass, When page pops up go down page to Bide-a-Wee Nursery. Can get different types eg variegated, some people grow these as ornamental grass. Have you got photo of your wicken? I remember when i was little, helping my dad to weed the grass and he would say "Make sure you get allof the wicken grass out" I seem to remember it was thick green grass with large feathery heads

My mum used to call couch grass wicken ... wicked wicken as I recall! It pulls up easily enough tho' ... roots & all ... if you get it right at the bottom?

Yep its couch grass. !!! I have plenty on my allotment......you need to take out every little piece......else it will grow a new shoot.......patience is the key ....you can of course spray with glyphophospate.....best time is Sept/Oct when it starts to die back....it will hopefully take the spray down into its roots and kill it....you have to keep doing it though.....
