RE: Leave it To Cleaver: A Warning About Goosegrass
I don't grow cleavers, but its cousin bedstraw. It's an herb my sister planted in 1992. It's use was to stuff in straw ticks because it smells nice, and it repels bugs. (It was in with the straw...)
I'm sure it has other medicinal, etc uses, but that one I remember because of the name. :))
I have heard of bed straw. It certainly has some history, as many of these herbs do. No one grows them intentionally here and it is seen as a weed. I just put some in my garden. Same with Nettles I planted a patch in a far corner and everyone thought I was mad. I think they are mad for not growing them. I guess the sting puts people off.
