You have lost me on that one @Tonka. Sure you aren’t thinking of someone else?
When I saw you had replied on notifications I half thought it would be with some reference to “Crazy Chick”

Any help would be appreciated

 

[An Gof]

Yarrow?

I use an app called Plantnet which seems pretty reliable.

It agrees with the other responses already received - mouse eared chickweed and yarrow respectively.

I've learned a lot about different plants since I first downloaded it.

I thought it was a beneficial,deep rooted herb,and a sign of healthy soil? Its not a nitrogen fixer,but is good for nitrogen fixing bacteria iirc?

I think!!

High mineral content and good for circulation apparently, but will taint milk in dairy cows. I wonder if calves/lambs take a distaste to it in their mothers milk?

Not sure, but I've seen it get tall In mowing grass, all branchy, has a white flower,but out sheep keep it grazed fairly tight,so they must like it!

Yarrow as mentioned.
Graze it tight with sheep will reduce it.

I think 2,4D does for it. The NuFarm phenoxy guide will be useful for this. I should think products such as pastor also give it a serious headache. It never seemed to hang around for long in treated leys in my experience.
