    Probabably easier to buy a small packet of supermarket salad watercress. Toss some in a bucket of water and it will start to root within a week. Once rooted you can make holes 1/3 the way up the bucket and then fill up with compost. Plant up and keep it well watered. Alternatively use as a marginal in a garden pond.

    I also use watercres for thowing in the pond. It collects a lot of algae, weed and surface gunk. Then I periodically fish it out and replace with fresh
