I have posted before in the brugs and canna forums about building swamps to keep plants looking lush and saving water. I thought that I would show you the rescue that I did tonight when I got home, the brugs are just getting far to stressed with the relentless heat , that they spend all their vigour flopping and reciving after I water them, so I have dug trenches, lined them with black heavy duty plastic and then refilled them with the local dirt and added water. Here are cannas and brugs 1 week after transporting to the swamp, revived and lush , taken at 5.pm today.
