What your lawn weeds are telling you: soil secrets unlocked

Dr. Russell Sharp explains how common lawn and sports-turf weeds reveal soil conditions — from nutrient levels and pH to compaction, moisture and even metal traces. Using examples like bee orchids, fairy rings, red shank, pineapple weed, nettles and clover, he shows how to interpret these indicators and take practical steps. He also gives simple management advice: test your soil, avoid rapid chemical changes, apply balanced nutrients when appropriate, and address compaction to restore healthy turf. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/ultimate-iron-fertiliser/
