As Sean started his above post by saying that plants thrive best
near the roads in his dry climate is observational evidence that
plants like asphalt and is in agreement with my observations that
they like asphalt roads and they like asphalt roof shingles as
mulch. Observation is proof that plants like asphalt. As to
whether they intake harmful chemicals due to the proximity of
asphalt is an open research question.


Well, actually, plants do just as well next to a concrete road as an
asphalt road, so it isn't the asphalt.
