-Most of these plants are considered as weeds; and they make their living ass pioneer species: tough sundependent, fatgrowing and short lived.These early colonists invade bare or depleted soils. where one of there rolls is to accumulate nutrients in their roots and leaves. Each fall these plants die and rot, pumping a fat load of minerals into the soil. The enriched earth is then ready  for the next successionary phase of less emphemerial, more fastidious plants such as perennial herbs, shrubs and trees.

 succession is the progression from bare earth to short annual weeds to perennials.

 when soil is compacted or clayey, plants are excellent tools to restore tilth and fluffiness.
 Species with deep, soil busting taproots are perfelt for the job. These include:
-  ***Daikon**
+  ***Daikon**- Rettich - Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus
-  ***Chirory**
+  ***Chirory**-(Wilde Chirochei) - Chicorium intimus

-  ***Dandelion**
+  ***Dandelion** - Paardenbloem – Taraxacum officinale (perennial)
 Others don’t have a single taproot but instead thrust a massive, fibrous rootsystem deep into the erath to accomplish the same soil loosening:
-  ***Mustard**
+  ***Mustard** - Mosterd -Sinapis nigra
-  ***Rapeseed**
+  ***Rapeseed** - Rapen – Brassica napus; opens heavy soil (annual)
   ***Alfafa** - Luzerne - Medicago (also a good nitrogen fixer)
