Maybe gathers weeds from slopes (5)
I believe the answer is:
rakes
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'maybe gathers weeds' is the first definition.
(weeds might be gathered with a rake)
'slopes' is the second definition.
(rake is a kind of slope)
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for rakes that I've seen before include "Dissolute fellows" , "Inclinations" , "men who are dissipated" , "Has an inclination" , "Dissolute men" .)
