There's an old story about a young man taking his elderly grandfather in horse and buggy to the land the young man wanted to buy for a farm. The grandfather had poor vision, he told the grandson to tie the horses up to the nearest bull thistle. He said "Grandpa, there aren't any bull thistles". The grandfather said "If it can't even grow a bull thistle, you don't want it".

I changed my format of weeds now I primarily grow Mullein a Purslane plantain as a crop‘s and yarrow almost 2 acres heavily planted every square inch I saved 1 million squash seeds last year I just saved around 5000 to 7000 white acorn nuts two days ago yesterday I got 50 pounds of grapes And approximately 40 pounds of rose hips 100 pounds of Asian pears 20 pounds of wild huckleberries and 8000 pounds of fertilizer I do these moves all the time I got tired of fighting the weeds and I don’t like them to be called weeds anymore. Everything is vegetation OK😊

Same here. My soil pulls hard alkaline/neutral in the clay areas. Can't grow a blueberry to save my life. I have lots of damned near every weed listed here. Now, my soil does change one place to the next, so I suppose different areas have different needs or excesses. I suppose soil sampling is the way to go for these individual areas.

The seed bank is usually there to respond to conditions. This was a good example. Grow what works with what you've got, and often you'll be correcting things at the same time, or at least not work against them. Like blueberries for example. Terrible plant for most soils. Plant service berries instead.

Plantain, Queen Anne’s lace, dandelions and clovers are the ones we have I saw in this video. We have hard, compact red clay soil. We couldn’t even dig a proper hole to bury our cat. Once we got past the top two-three inches we literally had to use the shovel to just scrape away dirt to “dig” the hole because no shovel, spade, post hole diggers, etc could penetrate it.

Ive been at my current house for about 2 years. Refuse to put anything on the soil, yard, grass, etc. All i can determine right now is that the prior owners must've put a lot of herbicide on the ground because myriad weeds have popped up everywhere. My plan is to let it go for a few years and let the soil heal. I'm sure nature knows what the ground needs. Any ideas are appreciated. I'll watch the video now.

You can read the weeds in your lawn too. If you see clover, you are nitrogen poor. When you get the soil ph and nutrients right, your grass will grow and choke out all of the invasive weeds. This works for your digestive tract too. With the right gut bacteria and probiotics, you will be very healthy. If you eat processed foods, your gut bacteria will start trying to kill you.
