Title: Laurel
Post by: sheepnewbies on January 31, 2009, 05:04:31 pm

Hi

I have another question on dangerous plants - what about laurel?  I have a laurel hedge along one side of a paddock - do I need to fence this off?  Instinct tells me laurel is not good, but when I had the horses in there, they just ignored it.
