Indicators of Soil Quality
Weeds can reveal a lot about the condition of your garden soil. For instance, nettles, elderflowers, and small knobwort flourish in nutrient-rich soil, while hop clover prefers calcareous ground. Coltsfoot thrives in poorly structured soil, and cleavers favor nitrogen-rich earth. So, if you plan to plant flowers or grow vegetables, the weeds in your garden can guide you on the best plants for your soil type.
