Were did i see Yarrow on a feed list . I alway's thought it was ok, mine not keen. Can't realy find a lot wrong with it.
Yarrow has also been used as a food, and was very popular as a vegetable in the seventeenth century. The younger leaves are said to be a pleasant leaf vegetable when cooked as spinach, or in a soup. Yarrow is sweet with a slight bitter taste. The leaves can also be dried and used as a herb in cooking.

I've also read that yarrow is fine to feed to torts. Willowherbs, I believe, aren't safe. The sedum (ice plant) is fine but mine aren't fussed tbh!
