There are a lot of foxgloves growing wildly on my
land. I was wondering if anyone knew if foxgloves are a good indicator of any particular soil conditions?
Are there any other plants that will thrive where foxgloves thrive?
Or anything I can do to improve the soil so that edible weeds grow instead?
And are they a good plant for chop and drop mulching on food plants? Or is the poison from them going to get into the food somehow? Is it safe for me to have a few foxglove plants in the
mulch I’m hilling up the potatoes with?
They are very pretty flowers, and the
bees love them, but I’ve heard that they can even be poisonous to touch, so I’d like to encourage other plants to grow instead.
