The "chinampa" wasn't built in a swamp, it was excavated on dry land
and only had water in the channels during the wet season, it soon
became over-run with weeds and a maintenance liability. The lesson:
chinampas are swamp-land systems, don't try to re-create them on dry
land unless you've a constant supply of water coming through the
system year-round.
