I used the "BV method" of planting pond plants (refer to post on planting in the
"Anacharis" thread) on four new bunches of watercress. The first two didn't do so well, I
believe because they were too close to the side, where there is little current, over the
'bog' channel.

The new ones looked very perky by the time I'd finished the beer....

I once had this wonderful setup for watercress.
I bought some florescent light grid at the home supply store. I had my husband
cut it to fit in the 150 gallon stock tank filter (upflow to waterfall). I
spray painted it black.
Then I bought a case of watercress from my grocer. (A case was ten bunches).
I put one or a couple stems (depending on the size of the stem) into each
square of the grid.
I floated the grid in the water of the stock tank.
It flourished!!
Grew over a foot tall and flowered.
Then one of the watergardening labradors got in the stock tank, walked on it
and cracked it all to pieces.
Haven't gotten around to redoing it but should have this spring with the
accidental emptying of the pond and 3,000 new water algae bloom.
