Hello!
As some of you might know, I am in the process of building a 20' x 8' enclosure for my Russian tortoise Myrtle. There are two large cabbage palms covering about 3/4 of the enclosure, but there is a small sunny patch, probably 8' x 4'. I want to plant some food for Myrtle in this spot but am unsure what to put in. I am are extremely wary of dandelions and other long-rooted, aggressive plants because our yard has virtually none right now and I don't want to start a population. I thought that the Testudo Seed Mix from Tortoise Supply might be a good choice, but noticed that it doesn't specify exactly which plants are included. For those of you who use this mix, what identifiable plants do you notice? Do they have long, thick roots? If I end up not getting this mix, I'll probably go with a mixture of marigolds, daisies, Bermuda grass, hibiscus, etc (going from this list: http://www.russiantortoise.net/edible_plants.htm
Thank you so much for your input!
