  1. Weeds and Herbs

    Share Share Post
    The most harmful weeds are Chicken weed, Robin-run-the-hedge, Thistles and Grounsel. They are most harmful because they spread so much.
    Nettles are used as food for turkeys. They are boiled down and chopped up and given to them and you can give Groundsel to them in the same way as the Nettle.
