When I was planning my outdoor pen I spent weeks trying to identify the 15 weed species in the area where I planned to build it. After I finally got a weed identified, then I had to try to figure out if it was edible and or toxic. I wish I knew about you guys then! Any that I wasn't sure of got chucked. Horehound, Marrubium vulgare, was one of those. It took weeks to find someone in a nursery who knew what it was, but even then no one knew if it was toxic. I found some stuff about using it in some herbal remedies, but didn't want to risk it. This stuff grows all over my 5 acre ranch and seems to persist when the other weeds are dying off. My camel, donkey and kangaroo all eat it with no apparent ill-effect, but they don't seem to like as much as the mustard and mallow. Does any one know if this is edible for sulcatas or other torts?
