Hi, welcome to the forum.
It’s best not to feed kale regularly as it’s high in calcium. I find spring greens is a good base and then add other items to this like cucumber, peppers, a little carrot. Plus what has already been mentioned.

The main staple leafy things my lot get are rainbow and swiss chard, spring/collard greens and some type of cabbage depending on whats available. Then I rotate smaller leafy things like spinach, kale, chicory, bok choi/pak choi, carrot tops once or twice a week or so depending which one it is I pick (kale and spinach are high in calcium and oxalates) Mix it up and see what takes their fancy I find my lot are a lot less fussy the more variety they get throughout the week as they dont get a chance to get bored of something...except spring greens they do get a bit bored of from time to time so I mix up how I feed it, sometimes I chuck the leaves in whole or in half depending on how many pigs are in that group, other times I shred it up really finely.

We get regular deliveries form my neighbour of his allotment veggies. I'm really disappointed that savoy and white cabbage were both left completely untouched this last week.

Luckily I got a delivery on my back doorstep today from my neighbour of spinach and chard - they will both go down well.
