This second edition of Weeds and Why They Grow, retitled When Weeds Talk, by Jay L. McCaman, is filled with new weeds and expanded chapters. Hundreds of weeds of commercial importance are detailed along with the chemical analysis of accompanying soils.
Weeds volunteer to solve mineral imbalances in the soil and species of weeds change as soils degenerate and they change again when the soil environment improves.
This book allows the reader to identify soil conditions based upon weed populations. Weed inventory is a very, very accurate method of identifying mineral requirements for all soil types and "When Weeds Talk" identifies 21 soil variables for over 800 weed species.
Nature has forever demonstrated that weed control lies in fertility management. Every weed grows in a somewhat narrow window of allowable soil conditions. For the first time, hundreds of weeds of commercial importance are detailed along with the chemical analysis of accompanying soils. For example, burdock grows in soils with very high levels of iron and sulfate, very low levels of calcium and manganese. Balance the soil, lose the weed.
