Soil - Page 3

Of course.  Every gardener knows how well weeds grow just about
anywhere.  I saw a petunia growing (and flowering) out of a crack in
the street (and have a picture to prove it).   Most cacti grow better
in poor soil than good soil.  Now at this point I'm not sure how to
define "poor soil" and "good soil."  I guess that depends on the plant
in question.

 One way that this is true is illustrated by the cosmos.  In the poor soil
along my house, cosmos flowers nicely. In the rich soil of my garden, it
produces only leaves.  Lots of them.  But no flowers.
