In spite of its name, the water chestnut is not a nut; itâs an aquatic vegetable. Long, slender stems grow above the water, while they form a bulb under the water that stores food for the plant and grows into the edible vegetable.
Thank you for reporting this comment. You can indeed grow water chestnuts in a kiddy pool... You half-fill the pool with soil, water well (until the soil is wet but not soggy) and plant the tubers at 12 intervals in all directions. When the plants are about 2 tall, you add water to flood the soil.
