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.




If you like the taste of cress but don't have a convenient source of
water - then try 'Land cress' (seeds from Thompson & Morgan, and
probably other suppliers).

I'm not sure what it is botanically... but it looks like watercress
(leaves a little smaller), tastes the same, and likes moist soil, rather
than to be sat in water.
We have some in the polytunnel - and it overwinters nicely..

Grows roots along its stems, like cress, so taking cuttings is easy..
