    Sticky Willy, make it in to a tea, it's traditionally used for treating problem skin and flushing the lymph and kidneys.
      I pull up handfuls and feed it to my horses for that very reason, plus they love the taste of it.

    Apparently it was fed to geese as a tonic. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I've always called it Cleavers.

    It's really easy to pull out. There's worse weeds!
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Keep asking the questions, we're always happy to try and help. I'm sure your Mum would be proud of you for taking on the garden.
    Thank you Jenny. I sure will. I have already learnt so much from browsing the forums and gardening is fast becoming my number one hobby!

    I spent an hour earlier pulling out 'Sticky Willy'.

    My mum calls it "sweetheart vine" on account of its clinginess.
