water cress ducks
« on: March 29, 2010, 05:58:02 pm »
ive just got some watercress seeds to plant out in the stream hoping it will grow vigerously, i was hoping the ducks would benifit from it, do ducks eat watercress.. even if they dont it will be full of water insects etc. i also heard its easier to replant supermarket watercress, has anyone done this.

ime going to put some in a plastic pot with holes in the bottom then plant that in the stream edge covered with wire so the ducks cant eat it till established, same with my seeds.

Good idea - didn't get to Tesco/ASDA/Morrisons today anyway
