I'm not sure how you propose to grow watercress without it being in the
water. It's an aquatic/semi aquatic plant...


On the latest GQT Bunny Guinness says she grows watercress in her
greenhouse and in her garden. ~Watercress is traditionally grown in
running water but it is obviously possible to grow it in soil kept
wet.
Anyone tried it? Any advice out there?
