Herbs For Piggies

[hartleyhare]

I have started growing a few herbs, partly for benefit of wildlife and also for my pigs/buns to eat. Can anyone tell me if Lemon Balm is ok for pigs please?

Lemon balm is basically OK (it is related to mint), but you may find that your piggies won't like it!

Thank you. I will give them a sample to try. They love the Pineapple mint as do the buns

Ive been thinking about doing a herb garden for my piggys. Could you tell me what herbs your growing for your pigs. I only know the common ones. So looking for ideas. Please

We have a herb garden in progress; once it's all the ground it probably won't last long though hehehe
The lavender plants been getting a lot of abuse...

@maxinedawn I currently have chocolate peppermint, bowles mint, two other mints, coriander and parsley. Also some lettuce underneath an old fish tank

Didn't know you could get so many different mints. Considering I have a national herb garden centre in my area I'm thinking I must do a little herb garden.
