There are 11 mostly wooded acres, two .25-acre clear spots with decent sun, and a 2-acre lake. I’m setting up my first ever garden, with 3 permaculture guilds, one deep raised bed for annual root crops, a straw bale garden with trellis for annuals, and some containers. The property is on spring water and I will water from the lake. What I’m wondering is, are there any food crops I can plant at the water’s edge? I know Asian water spinach is an invasive in Asia, but it would die over the winter here, so is that feasible? Any other suggestions?
I've grown Water Chestnuts, I would put them in a bigish container that you can pull out of the water to harvest
I've use 50L (10-15 gal)containers, with soil in them is heavy enough to handle, I think
They go well in stir fries etc.. or eat raw!
