The best place to grow watercress is in a chalk stream that is not too deep or swift.
However, for those of us who do not have shuch a benfit, there are other ways to grow and enjoy watercress.
You can grown watercress in pots or very wet soil ( you must keep the crop wet all the time )
Plant your watercress in a pot and place im a shady spot, make sure the pot is in a saucer of water which you must frequently refill with fresh water, it will grow quite well for a year or so and then might need starting off again (cuttings roots is extremely easily). Hard water is preferable to soft or rainwater. If there is a frost, protecte your water cress, because the frost will surly kill it.
