Title: Ferns & Pigs
Post by: Smokin on September 11, 2011, 12:53:26 pm

We have just finished fencing in a patch of woodland / scrub and intend raising two or three pigs on this to help clear it.

There are ferns in this patch and I seem to remember reading somewhere that ferns are bad for pigs but can't find the post (if there is one), can anyone help on this?

Smokin,
I am not sure how to put a link in here from another thread but if you do a search on bracken you will find the details you were looking for.  I think its under Bracken as bedding for pigs.
