Cobbett is a wherritable font of wisdom I plan to use my camel as a multi-purpose animal - ploughing my little plot, providing manure for it, providing milk for moi, and of course.... for transport. Do you suppose any net curtains will twitch in these 'ere parts as I glide by on my Ship of the Desert?    Report

When I was a kid people in the village used to keep rabbits for food and pick hogweed and dandelions from the verges to feed them. No doubt a practice left over from harder times in WW2 and before Not as easy to milk as a camel though. What about a goat? My grandmother used to keep goats when they lived too far away from a milk round but had no room for a cow. They would eat your vegetable waste. William Cobbetts Cottage economy will tell you how to keep a cow on a cottagers plot. That old hogweed can be a bit dangerous. Did'nt have you down as a "Cottager" Wallis.    Report

Ordinary British hogweed is ok- can be a bit prickly if you have a sensitivity but the alien giant hogweed is a dangerous menace.The spines cause a nasty rash which is like a burn and then the skin suffers from subsequent photosensitivity for a long time. See link I am always surprised that West Runton parish council allows this alien weed , which I thought was meant to be notified to Defra and destroyed, to thrive beside the road to the beach car park. http://www.letsgogardening.co.uk/Information/GiantHogweed.htm    Report

If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, an ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as possible and burned. " Just because I care"    Report
