Anyone getting any weeds?

On nutrition list's Cabbage comes in safer than Kale, the calcium content of Kale is higher, this can be sorted by a pinch of pure Calcium added to dark green cabbage leaf.

Thanks Joanna and Paul Am desperately trying to add as much variety into their diet as possible. Do have some weeds growing indoors but am feeding these to the babies (4 mth Tunisians) as I do not want to give them pellets so young. Now I am better will def go hunting on Monday if the weather thaws out a little. It was weedhunting in the pouring rain 3 weeks ago that gave me flu

I've been really poorly since Monday, ain't slept, so ain't going out to get cold don't wanna feel worse than I do now, roll on spring

Get well soon Laura I started with a little cold which turned into flu after getting soaked right through whilst weedhunting. Stay warm indoors, its not worth it

Will let you all know about Lilys cobs...I know I will get a cob on if he turns his picky little nose up at them. Thanks for the tips Jo on the organic, and Paul, so ditch the bok choi and kale and go with a cabbage such as tenderheart or a green cabbage? Hope you feel better soon Laur.

It's no secret times are hard for nutrition, the thing is if you trust a pellet food (and not advertising it at all), it makes life easier for the other day's to fill in. Most tort sites have say a big no to nearly all veg, coming round to varieties of lettuce, this is safe recomendation as there is nearly bugger all in it, it is nowhere near a weed plant on fibre and probably nutrition. Alot of weeds to feed in moderation are in or near the Brassica family, we can eat them, so as a meal in these bad times, feed some Brassica instead of lettuce.
One of the better ones is Dark green Cabbage leaf, a few pieces of Green Beans, Butter Nut Squash, Alfalfa Sprouts, even a few Peas or Sweetcorn.
Kale can be substituted for the Cabbage and Butternut Squash, or Broccoli. A pinch of supplement or Calcium Powder, mix the veg around daily not feeding the same thing's, with the Salad leaf to add as well, fine cut up Timothy Hay can be added or readygrass bulking up the fibre to get through.

I was told by a man who had kept torts for years to try mine with "spring greens" (a form of cabbage) all of his loved it apparently & preferred Tesco's!!

Anyway I did try them with a bit & they all absolutely loved it. He said as you have Paul that its just more variety & Ok if fed as part of a varied diet.
