Hi, I grow it in a barrel which has water from our fish pond flowing through it. I took a cutting (well, more of a "ripping" :o) off my Dad's plant early last year and it went mad. Fantastic stuff, we ate it all thew way through into autumn. It has overwintered well and should pick up again soon. I heard supermarket stuff will regrow but haven't tried personally.

I'd love o give it a go again . I probably already have the liver fluke but how far do these snails travel??? We do have sheep occasionally being herded down the road next to the stream feeding our garden, will that be a danger? Why do they only spread the fluke onto water cress and not onto any other veg??? :&>
