I'm looking for forage herbs for my horse pasture (in Washington state). I have seen a mixture in the United Kingdom of 40% chicory, 5% yarrow, 10% ribgrass, 20% burnet, and 20% sheep's parsley. Do you know what sheep's parsley is?I do not know what "sheep's parsley" is. It is not listed in any of our references in the Richters library.
Also, are there specific varieties of these herbs that I should use?Generally, it is preferable to use the wild forms for pasture and forage mixtures. So, for example, you should not use the cultivated forms of chicory and yarrow; instead, use the wild forms that are available from Richters. For yarrow use Achillea millifolium, item no. S7000 in our catalogue. Ribgrass is listed under "plantain" in our catalogue, item no. S4495. For burnet use the salad burnet variety, item no. S1570.
