Sometimes it is sewn with grass seed and long ago it was mowed two or three times a year. Oats were also mixed with it and cut green for fodder by which arrangement the farmer estimated that one acre was more productive than 4 acres of common pasture.FURZE - Long ago the tops of furze were used as fodder. They were prepared by being pounded in a stone trough and greedily eaten by horses. They also served as medicine.
