I understand the advantage of nitrogen in the soil, but I am looking for a list of plants that are tolerant of soils with low levels of fixed nitrogen. Anyone have a cheat sheet handy? Would that mainly be root crops?
Low Nitrogen Plants

In the end, we all work for ourselves.
Many Elaeagnus species harbor nitrogen fixing organisms in their roots, and are therefore able to grow well in low-nitrogen soil
