Is there a indicator of soil pH simply from the plants that grow there
I was wondering if plants can act as a guage of soil pH rather than
scientific testing of soil samples. Whether if one sees a plant X growing on the lot indicates the soil must be of a constrained pH. The reason this question arises is because I was under the impression that this land around me is alkali and not acidic enough to grow hazelnut. However, one neighbor has a bush that is thriving. So I want to know if there is a common weed that requires enough acid soil, such that if I planted hazelnut in that spot would have enough acid soil. I do not want to be soil sampling. I want to spot a plant that requires acid soil and thus my hazelnut would do well in that spot.
