Title: Chickens and potato haulms
Post by: RobinOfTheHood on June 30, 2010, 07:02:50
Am I OK to give the uprooted haulms to the chickens, or am I better off putting them straight on the compost heap? Seems a waste....  ::)

No fruit on them, BTW.

I was told they can be piosonous to chooks so always compost them :)

Ta for that, I did suspect that they may be poisonous so the compost heap it shall continue to be.  :)
