Default Water cress growing? How?

not flowing
Is it possible


Easily

and where do you get seeds or plants?


The supermarket, if you're posting from the UK. I'm pretty sure that's
where I got mine from - IIRC I just threw the bunch in. Pond owners
often do this as a way of keeping algal growth down by removing some of
the nitrogen.

If you're planning to eat the watercress, Google on watercress and
"liver fluke" and take appropriate precautions.
