Growing in a creek

Me and some friends are planning to try our hand at growing outside this year. We found a great spot next to a creek and one of my buddies suggested of a way he heard about growing in a creek.

You take chicken wire that gets very small holes near the bottom and make a cylinder out in the water. You fill the cylinder with grow rocks a couple inches above the water line. Then place at least a few inches of peat moss above the grow rocks, and then the plants.

This does seem like a great idea, but does anyone know if it will still get enough nutrients?

I'm guessing that there shd b enough nutes as the river/stream will wash them down from the soil further up stream. However the water level wont stay constant. In the summer it will drop and all u need is a thunder storm to make the river rise a few inches and it will prob wash the plant and wire away unless u really tie it down but then the force of the water might break the plant. Good idea tho, but you won't know if it does work until you try it

yea great idea but telling your mates isn't. you should do outdoor grows on your own. the moss and grow rocks sounds good, id try it out.

sounds good mane but i dont kno what if tha creek over flows?
