I have a water trough left over from the days of owning horses and it has just occurred to me that I can use it to grow some edible water plants.

I already grow water chestnuts in the pretty feed tubs we had for the horses so what else can I grow?

Fortunately I came across this great site (see below).  I’m thinking that Iwill give Kang kong or water spinach a go and maybe buy some little fish to keep the mozzies away. Not that I have any problems with mozzies in the water chestnuts.

These guys are based in Eudlo on the Sunshine Coast, whereas I am in Western Queensland but the water chestnuts do pretty well here so I don’t see why the spinach won’t. I’ll let you know when I get it going.

And maybe some more water chestnuts would be good since the more I have, the more we seem to eat.

This will be my next project.
