Supermarket veg

[tryme]

Hi

What common veg can you feed your horsefield?
Today i saw frisee lettuice and pak choi. Can these be given?

Yes, also arugala, raddichio, spring mix. Try not to give too much spinach. Romaine too but none of these are as nutritious as broadleaf weeds right out in your yard. Here is a link that might help :

What sort of broad leafs will be in the garden? I know i have dandelion?

They are all on that link. I use a lot of broadleaf plantain, mullberry leaves, grape leaves, chicory, rose leaves, hostas, rose of sharon flowers and leaves, squash flowers. Depends too, if your yard has been treated with any chemicals, I would not use any.
