Hello anne

a I've heard that where nettles and thistles grow, the soil is
a probably fertile, but what if the gound is completely
a covered with high brambles and not much else?

Could be anything - brambles grow on really poor soil and on really
good soil. The lack of anything else is probably more to do with
brambles' efficiency at removing competition than any pointer to soil
quality.
