> Hi. I run a Community-shared agriculture farm in eastern Ontario.
> We grow organic vegetables, berries, fruits and herbs. I am looking

> our crops. Eg. what herbs, flowers, even weeds enhance the "natural"
> ecosystem within the farm. I am also looking for information on
> weeds as indicators. I would like to know what the weeds growing on
> my farm tell me about the soil. If anyone knows of any information
> on these topics I would appreciate hearing from you.
