We've nearly finished this pool (on web below) which is 20 yards by

edges and my mind is always drawn to the exotic like those in ancient
Egypt and Mexico. I know I can't grow such things but there must be
something that can be grown that looks like these plants.
Someone suggesting bamboo, previously is something I thought I could
use hereabouts I have a nigra a large clump..I just hope it will move
OK... I am sure there should be plants that wave in the breeze. The
spot is in full sun from about 10am to 5pm and I'm hoping to be able
to use solar to work the pumps. It seems such a waste to let all this
water overflowing everywhere in this area... so we'll collect sky
water as much as possible.BUT plants I'm completely foxed. I don't
want to put their feet in the water just along the sides which are to
be filled with backing cement/stones and soil. Summer we hopefully
can water the vegetables.
