Not every newbie in gardening knows that the condition of the soil can be determined by the weeds that grow on the plot.

But which plants specifically indicate excellent soil quality?

This list includes the field sow thistle.

This perennial plant chooses areas where the soil is well saturated with air and has a slightly acidic or neutral acidity level.

Galinsoga parviflora will also hint that the soil is good for planting various fruit crops. Such a weed loves well-moistened and fertile soil that breathes.

Also on the list is Amaranthus retroflexus (Pigweed).

This weed is often found in areas with loamy soil that is well saturated with air and nitrogen.

But all these plants still need to be gotten rid of in time, otherwise they will quickly fill the area, depriving it of moisture and nutrients.
