White Clover: Don't Get Rid Of It! It's Food & Medicine

This was a great post Dawn

My parents have a farm in the Lake District and they have a totally unspoilt herbage there, all kinds of clover everywhere, it has always been fully organic, no spray or fertilizers since its institution in 1924 when uncle bought the land and built a dwelling there, and our sheep, parkland Cheviot do very well on the natural herbage so much so they are much better at controlling any ailments they happen along.
We also kept bees there and have heather only half a mile away.
Father once won a competition from The Farmers Weekly for a story for alternative uses and the healing properties of honey, this was way back in the day before our modern hospitals began ramping up their use of the golden liquid on humans.
The story was we had a ewe that had badly injured one of its hind legs and after several visits from the vet it was actually getting worse, so father used some of our clover honey in a last ditched attempt to save the animal due to having two nice lambs in tow. The ending was a complete success for the honey and all animals survived.
Thos who are following this kind of alternative might like to buy a copy of this book or one of the reprints that is very similar.
