Weeds. We’ve all heard the saying, “One person’s weed is another person’s wildflower” (Susan Wittig Albert), but who are we kidding? If the gardener didn’t plant it, it’s a weed. And seriously, we’ve spent our gardening careers pulling them. Why would we allow some to stay?

Geoff Lawton, a world-renowned permaculture consultant, designer, and teacher explains that weeds are not the problem, but instead, they can reveal problems to us. Specifically, weeds can teach us about our soils.
