The message
from Pam Moore contains these words:

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.

You can grow it in rows like most other vegetables - but keep the ground
moist.

Don't grow it in stagnant water as it can pick up nasties.

Rusty you live in Norfolk, do you remember many years ago that the IFR
(or maybe it was Ins. John Innes?) did research on watercress and that
the results were disturbing, I'm sure it reached the Eastern Daily
Press at the time?
