Ok; you made me look it up :-). I figured it was some strange foreign food that I couldn't grow or even buy locally, so I didn't bother :-)

I actually DO chinampas. I float styrofoam sheets in my aquaponic tanks, with plants planted with the roots going through small holes into the water. It works great for small plants that won't get top-heavy and fall over, and don't mind the fish trimming the roots...lettuce works well.

Hi, Bev -

I notice there hasn't been much response to this post? When I saw the word
'chinampas' I was pretty sure it was the same concept I researched years ago
(out of curiosity).

My computer is soooo...slow - I didn't even attempt to bring up any photos -
but what a marvelous visual anyway!

Sandy
