Title: Feeding carrot tops
Post by: Daisys Mum on August 13, 2011, 07:19:48 pm

My carrots are a disaster this year and I was going to feed them to the pigs, is it okay to feed the tops as well?

My first pair of pigs early this year went into our old allotment where we had some rubbish carrots which we left in the ground.  The pigs never ate them at all ???

ours eat them no problem.

My carrots are never that good, but as long as you don't mind them cut into odd shapes to accomodate the chewed bits or forked bits!
