snottiegobble starts with ... I have filled in my decommissioned septic with sand to allow 15cms of water depth! I installed a pond liner at 35cm & also included a ledge ( concrete edger) for shallow bog plants (Gotu Kola, brahmi. etc) There is a variety of manures placed between the sand on top of the liner & the sand that forms the planting bed! All I need now are WATER CHESTNUTS!! Anyone know where I can buy halfadoz corms to plant? | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso 26th June 2012 8:32pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... Thanks everyone, I have located some corms to plant. I believe they can go in right away as long as the bed is not flooded until their first leaves reach 12cm. That way it mimics what happens in the tropics that has dry winters, wet summers! Also the corms are inclined to go moldy in the fridge if in there too long! Here is were I intend to plant them! In my converted decommissioned septic tank. The shelf is for bog plants such as Gotu kola ( couldnt wait to plant one)
