I came across a very interesting little list from a soil lab website. It's a list of weeds that commonly appear under certain soil conditions. When I reflect on what is very prevalent on my land and what I've battled back on the homestead, this makes a ton of sense.

Some examples:
*Clover: low nitrogen soils. I have tons of wild clovers, and zero N in my soil sample. Although no clover where I sampled.
*Vetch: low nitrogen soils.
*Foxtail: low fertility soils. Explains my awesome clover plot that I had to mow the foxtail out of.
*Wild strawberry in low pH soils. I have it all over up north. PH listed as 5.6 on my first soil sample.
Don't know that I could ID anything else on that list.
