You can start of with Mazuri, NutraZu or T-rex tortoise diet in addition to any dark leafy greens. The tortoise diet will provide all your nutritional needs and the greens are just filler or variety.
As you learn more you can replace the tortoise diet with all greens if you like but I suspect you will be more than happy with the results you obtain with the original diet. Quote:

Ok
 What would happen if they have been sprayed with some form of weedkiller or something if they eat it... will it kill em?

As I mentioned... as you learn more over time you can change things as you see fit but your tortoise will not suffer as you progress through the learning curve. Check out these posts... Manufactured Diets...Part 1 Manufactured Diets... Part 2
