16704 White Clover and Aerator

We can use all the help we can get so when this patch of Sweet White Clover established itself on the west side of the pond, at least one of us was thrilled. 

Sweet White Clover is a hard worker It's leaves fix free nitrogen and carbon from the air and produces a high protein feed for our sheep. It's roots stabilize the soil around the pond to prevent soil erosion and at the same time breakup the clay substrate to prevent compaction. It's flowers provide sustenance to bees and other beneficial insects.
