nutrition: foraging

Collecting Wild Grasses & Plants
Here are a few basic guidelines for foraging:
-
Do not pick from farmers' fields, or anywhere that plants/grasses will have been sprayed with pesticides/fertiliser
-
Avoid forage if it is likely to have been contaminated by dog urine/faeces
-
Use an identification guide if uncertain about what plant you have collected
-
If your pet never eaten certain plants before, introduce them to their diet very slowly
-
Stay away from forage next to busy roads - exhaust fumes contaminate the plants & are unsuitable
