thanks ThePot for that link. those tubes look like a good idea. my type of swamp is a little more watery with less grass like plants and more small trees. The water doesnt get that high though so i think those tubes would work well since they are pretty tall. ill just make sure there is plenty of good soil in them. like maybe 20% peat moss bottom, then that peralite stuff. then good orangic soil the rest of the way up the tube, with the tube sticking about 3 feet out of the swamp..... Who knows im gonna try a bunch of methods all summer and just see what works.

so this just gave me an idea ok hypethetically speaking in that situation if you were to replace the soil with coco coir or some other hydro medium then make a spacer for the bottom then have a...lets say solar powered airpump and stone...basically could you make a floating island of bubble buckets that base their hydro off of lake water? i understand the feeding would be a little more difficult but can it be done in everyones honest opinions

that would be pretty sweet lol

so the bucket would have a floating ring around it then the inside would be the top 1/3 or 2/3 would be medium either fed or have a feeding mechanism burried in it along with the battery for the small solar panel the bottom third would obviously look like a siv with an air stone ziptied to the bottom ...and the solar panel could potentialy be secured to the top of the plant...that would be a fun project lol

well im pretty ripped lol so sorry for being rediculous
