I have two weeds growing in my yard – how can I rid them?

Wow - if you have only two weeds, just pull them up by their roots. If you mean two types of weeds, you can pull, smother or spray depending on how big the area. Putting newspaper or cardboard over a large weedy area and then covering this with compost, bark, grass clippings or other organic matter will smother the weeds and you'll be able to plant next spring. Perhaps you want to send a photo of the weeds so I can tell you the best way to control them. Keep growing, - but not weeds, Marianne Binetti
