How does "Weeds" Tell A Whole Lot

Weeds can serve as indicators of unhealthy soil conditions, such as compaction and poor drainage. Unlike cultivated plants, which struggle in these conditions, weeds are adapted to thrive in degraded soils.

Common lawn weeds like clovers, ground ivy, and thistles are often found in lawns with poor soil structure, drainage, and humus content.

By identifying the types of weeds present, such as chickweed or plantain, one can gather clues about the presence of compacted soil, as these weeds tend to flourish in cultivated and compacted areas.

Paying attention to these signals can help in assessing and addressing soil health issues for a healthier lawn.
