Laura007 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 i went to loughborough this morning, and came back with a huge box of cabbage leaves.........................................................for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the fruit and veg stall had loads knocking about, paul suggested i asked if we could have some for our chooks (note that he didnt go over and ask himself!) the chap looked at me a little strange when i asked if i could have some trimmings for my chooks, but after a little grin from me he told me to help myself, so i did! if ever you are at a market, its worth an ask.

kannie Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Yes I always do! Never got that many though - wouldn't fit in our fridge!! Will be off to Marylebone farmers market tomorrow so hope to get some there! I ask in some greengrocers shops too. And I check their piles of waste outside sometimes too - then ask them if I can have various discarded items FOR MY CHICKENS - just so they don't think I'm scrounging for myself!!

Charlottechicken Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 If you don't like to ask you can always go along just after they have gone, round here it's about 3pm, and just pick up what's on the floor. I used to work with someone who got his fruit and veg that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
