Default Watercress

Is it possible to grow watercress without running water? Has anyone
tried, and if so how can it be done? Pieces of bought watercress will
root in water, but is there a way of growing them on? I often end up
wasting the last of a packet.


To avoid throwing it away, I stuck a piece of rooting watercress in my
garden pond in the spring, with no soil, and it's been going all summer.
It's flowering now, and the leaves are really big as well. It will probably
last the winter and take over my pond.
